What would it mean to recognise rivers, ecosystems and the natural world as subjects of rights?

The debate brings together voices with distinct experiences and perspectives on the emerging Rights of Nature movement, spanning international institutions, law, environmental activism, philosophy and corporate governance.

This panel conversation is part of the Rights on Nature workshop, where we invite you to a debate exploring one of the most pressing and provocative questions of our time: should nature have rights?

President, International Observatory on the Rights of Nature

Sören Koch
