Bioneers Learning-The Rights of Nature:

Drafting, Adopting, and Enforcing Rights of Nature Laws in Cities, Towns, and Counties Workshop

Four-Week Course with Thomas Linzey & Mari Margil

October 19th - November 9, 2023

2:00 PM - 3:30 PM Eastern

Coming this October, the Center for Democratic and Environmental Rights (CDER) is excited to be presenting a four-week course as part of the new Bioneers Learning program. Launched this year by our partner organization Bioneers, Bioneers Learning courses will focus on a range of environmental, social justice, and other topics, equipping engaged citizens and professionals with the knowledge, tools, resources, and networks to initiate or deepen your engagement, leading to real change in your life and community.

CDER’s Mari Margil and Thomas Linzey will lead an exciting four-week course designed to enrich and educate on the breadth of work being done in the Rights of Nature movement. "The Rights of Nature: Drafting, Adopting, and Enforcing Rights of Nature Laws in Cities, Towns, and Counties" will provide attendees with a full background on the Rights of Nature movement in the United States and around the world, and prepare them to engage in their own communities to develop, adopt, and enforce local Rights of Nature laws.

The course will also include an overview of how indigenous communities are adopting and enforcing Rights of Nature laws and policies. The course will also feature guest presenters, including key organizers in Ecuador and tribal attorneys.

What you will learn:

  • The Indigenous origins of the Rights of Nature and its evolution in Western legal theory

  • How to support the Rights of Nature in your community and elsewhere

  • An in-depth understanding of Rights of Nature laws and court decisions around the world, including with tribal and first nations, Ecuador, Bolivia, India, Colombia, Brazil, Canada, Spain, and elsewhere

  • Strategies for advancing Rights of Nature laws in your communities
