In this session, barrister and author Monica Feria-Tinta will discuss her book, A Barrister for the Earth, which takes us behind the scenes of ten real cases as she argues against the destruction of cloud forests and for sovereign states to account for inaction.
Each of these are landmarks signalling that we are at an important juncture, in which the law can be a powerful tool for the lasting change. Monica's book asks questions such as:
- Can a planet have legal rights?
- Could it be defended in a court of law?
- How do we redefine a 'right to life'?
Join us to find out the answers.
