This session, inspired by the film “I Am The River, The River Is Me”, offers successful case studies from the Rights of Nature movement that have demonstrated long-term solutions toward biodiversity protection, promoting community resilience and livelihoods, and building climate resilience. As one of the fastest growing environmental movements globally, Rights of Nature recognizes that Earth’s ecosystems have the right to exist and thrive while rejecting false solutions that attempt to commodify nature and threaten human and Indigenous rights. The event will feature expert leaders representing communities around the globe who have implemented Rights of Nature frameworks successfully for their communities.
