Congratulations to Linda Sheehan and the Earth Law Center for the many ways you are in action advancing Rights of Nature and earth jurisprudence your first year!
From Earth Law Center By Linda Sheehan
As 2012 draws to a close, the U.N. climate change conference is wrapping up in Doha, Qatar. Despite scientists’ warnings that we consistently underestimate the extent of climate change, international leaders in Doha have again failed to commit to the significant reductions in greenhouse gases needed to prevent further warming.
Climate change fundamentally threatens both the rights of the natural world and the rights of people to be healthy and thrive. In its first full year of operation, Earth Law Center has worked to advance these rights through advocacy, outreach and education.
