Webinar: The Rights of Nature and the Triple Planetary Crisis: Lessons from Ecuador

The Rights of Nature and the Triple Planetary Crisis: Lessons Learned from Ecuador - in English & Spanish

Wednesday, July 17 - 10am Eastern Time, 9am Ecuador Time

Miércoles - 17 de Julio - a las 9 am de Ecuador/ 10 am EST time

The Center for Democratic and Environmental Rights (CDER) is joining with the George Washington University Law School and Earth Law Center to host a webinar on the overlapping environmental crises that we face today and the lessons we can learn from how Ecuador is addressing them with the rights of nature. We invite you to join us!

In 2008, the founders of CDER consulted with Ecuador’s Constituent Assembly on the rights of nature, as Assembly delegates worked to draft the country’s new constitution. Through a nationwide vote, the people of Ecuador ratified the new constitution - becoming the first country in the world to enshrine the constitutional rights of nature.

The webinar will host an expert panel, which will review the global context of the rights of nature, review the lessons learned from Ecuador, and assess the importance of the Nangaritza Forest rights of nature case selected by Ecuador’s Constitutional Court for review.

The webinar will be delivered in Spanish and English.
