Recognition of the Inherent Rights of Nature: A universal paradigm in defense of Mother Earth

The “Recognition of the Inherent Rights of Nature” panel will be a hybrid event held at the Blue Zone of COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt on November 15th, 2022, at 11H30 (UTC+2).

Internationally recognized experts will convene at this panel to share and debate their views and experiences on emblematic cases of the Rights of Nature, an innovative legal approach that recognizes ecosystems as subjects of rights.

The speakers will present cases all over the world, from ones submitted to the International Rights of Nature Tribunal (“False solutions to the climate change crisis” and “The Amazon, a threatened living entity”) to real cases happening in Ecuador (Los Cedros), in Spain (Mar Menor), and the possibility of a case in Mexico.

The convergence of initiatives happening around the planet implies a need to change the anthropocentric paradigm and adopt a new socio-ecosystemic perspective which recognizes that human beings are an inalienable part of Nature.
