From March 20th<\/span> to 25th<\/strong>, we call on the European institutions to<\/span> recognize ecocide in European law<\/span> in order to prosecute the most serious crimes against nature that are still not recognized.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last December, the European Commission <\/span>published a proposal<\/span><\/a> for the revision of the Environmental Crime Directive. This proposal is a good step towards <\/span>protecting the environment through criminal law<\/span><\/a>, but it still does not recognise, define and therefore condemn the most serious environmental crimes: <\/span>ecocide<\/span><\/a>. As the European Union is now revising it, this is a unique opportunity to demand the recognition of ecocide in European law, and to expose the corporate impunity and lack of responsibility (political, financial and moral) currently existing around mass destruction to nature.<\/span><\/p>\n

Join us!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Together, we want to show that <\/span>the recognition of ecocide is an increasingly popular and necessary demand to protect the future of life on Earth. <\/strong>Join the mobilisation and let’s put pressure on the European Union to recognize ecocide in European law! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
