This webinar will focus on the concept of legally enforceable Rights of Nature, and will trace the development of Rights of Nature laws and court decisions around the world. This will include efforts currently underway across the United States and around the globe to enact and enforce local and national laws recognizing rights of ecosystems and nature.
This training is intended for communities and groups in the U.S. interested in learning about the Rights of Nature movement, and how to implement it in their own town or city. After the training, there will be time for questions and discussion.
