Severe and widespread or long-term damage to nature - ecocide - is happening around the world. It is happening because there is no effective deterrent. The movement to create a new international crime of ecocide - to deter the worst acts of environmental harm and guide commercial activity into a safer space - is gathering momentum. As discussions advance towards the creation of this new global law, around the world, there are also a growing number of initiatives to enact ecocide law at national level. This is a law for our time and it is on its way.
In this event, we will:
Raise awareness of Stop Ecocide, their key objectives, and aims for the business community.
Share Stop Ecocide’s business open letter.
Identify individuals or businesses who would like to be part of a sounding board, panel or network to review or debate aspects of the campaign.
There will also be an opportunity to ask questions about the campaign and forge connections with like-minded individuals who are also working to address the nature crisis in their businesses and organisations.
Join us to find out more about ecocide law, how it can support and encourage sustainable business and how businesses can support it.
