Rights of Nature
Promotes Biodiversity

GARN is honored to attend #COP16 in Colombia. GARN will bring a unique perspective to this important dialogue by advocating for the legal recognition of Nature’s inherent rights. Our events will focus on recognizing the Amazon and Antarctica as legal entities and promoting Indigenous-led, real solutions for environmental justice. Join us in the call for Nature’s voice to be heard in all global environmental frameworks.

Laws for the Earth booth

GARN, together with allies Earth Law Center and Stop Ecocide, will have a permanent booth at the Blue Zone, called “Laws for the Earth”. The booth will provide a permanent space to learn about the Rights of Nature and the Earth Jurisprudence movement. It will also serve as a meeting point to promote synergies and dialogue around the topic.
