Against the backdrop of the UNFCCC climate talks in Paris—highlighting false solutions and failed negotiations—we can do more than just protest. The International Rights of Nature Tribunal stands as true system change — a forum for the world we are creating. Nearly everywhere, current law says nature is mere property to be destroyed for profit. We cannot protect ecosystems without recognizing their rights to „exist, persist, and regenerate their vital natural cycles.“ Rights of Nature provides the framework for solutions that respect the integrity of the vital ecological processes of the Earth.

This international “People’s Tribunal” provides a highly visible vehicle for re-framing and adjudicating prominent environmental and social justice cases within the context of a Rights of Nature-based earth jurisprudence. It gives people from all around the world the opportunity to testify publicly as to the destruction of the Earth — destruction that governments and corporations legalize and encourage. The Tribunal provides a platform for informed legal analysis of diverse cases based on Rights of Nature. With each case, the esteemed panel of Tribunal judges will recommend actions for reparation, mitigation, restoration and prevention of further damages and harm.
