Australia

With our partner organization — the Australian Earth Laws Alliance — we are helping advance the rights of nature in Australia.  This includes working on legislation introduced by Member of Parliament Diane Evers in the Western Australia legislature in November 2019.

The proposed law would recognize rights of nature to exist, flourish, regenerate, evolve, and restoration, as well as a “healthy and stable climate system.”  Further, the legislation recognizes the rights of present and future generations to a healthy environment, and rights of First Nations.
