Register today for this upcoming virtual discussion in a series led by Marie Toussaint, elected Member of the European Parliament.
Join us Tuesday 12 January, at 12:30 p.m EST for the third episode of our conference series, entitled “Nature rights: an extension of Human rights?”.
Panelists Include:
David Boyd, United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and the Environment

Tish O’Dell (USA), Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund

After the death of one young woman, Ella Adoo-Kissi, from air pollution in a poor neighborhood of London, we must address the close links and connections between the recognition of Nature’s rights and the protection of Human rights. More than ever, human rights are being violated because of the destruction of nature and we have to work towards the recognition of Nature’s rights as a condition and a tool for the respect and protection of human rights.
Please attend on Tuesday, January 12 to engage in this crucial discussion.
