Join CELDF in this first conversation about the ruling: what it says, what it means, and how it can serve as an example for how to create rights of nature laws and uphold them. This webinar is only a “kick-off” of a much deeper dive into an analysis of the Rights of Nature movement over the past 16 years.
Though the Los Cedros high court decision from Ecuador has been out since November 2021 what it contains could very well shape the future of Rights of Nature law making, the movement and ultimately the state of the planet for decades to come. Thanks to the efforts of the Global Alliance for Rights of Nature with assistance from CELDF, the Los Cedros decision has been translated into English by both lawyers in Ecuador and the US (not an automated translation). This has given the staff of CELDF a much clearer and deeper picture into the multidimensionality of the decision and CELDF is ready to share with others what it has discovered.
As the webinar (June 30th @ 7pm EDT) description notes about Los Cedros it is "Truly a seminal case for legal rights of nature. The court addressed the regulatory permitting process, the precautionary principle, biodiversity, community input into the decision-making process, and how human rights to clean water and a healthy environment are completely tied to the rights of the ecosystem and nature."
The webinar evening is all about laying out what the decision says, what it means, and most importantly how it can instruct future policy in its aim of transforming collective behavior on a systemic level in how human systems integrate and operate within the boundaries of ecosystems vs. the colonial model of control and exploitation that place corporate run human systems outside the natural world and therefore out of balance.
