In this session, Barrister and Author Monica Feria-Tinta discussed her book, A Barrister for the Earth, which offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes of ten landmark environmental cases. Through her work, Monica argues for the protection of cloud forests and calls for governments to be held accountable for environmental inaction. The book explores how the law can recognise the planet’s rights, redefines what a ‘right to life’ means, and shows how legal advocacy can become a powerful force for lasting change.
