Are the actions of the the fossil fuel industry considered a crime against humanity?
“ECOCIDE”
is a word to describe what is happening to our planet; the mass damage and destruction of the natural living world. It literally means “killing one’s home”. And right now, in most of the world, no-one is held responsible.
It’s time to change the rules. It’s time to protect our home. Stop ecocide is working, together with a growing global network of lawyers, diplomats, and across all sectors of civil society, towards making ecocide an international crime. Our guest on this episode, Jojo Mehta, is working to make it a crime to harm the environment. Jojo co-founded Stop Ecocide in 2017, alongside legal pioneer, the late Polly Higgins, to support making severe harm to nature an international crime. As key spokesperson and Executive Director of Stop Ecocide International, Jojo has overseen the remarkable growth of the global movement while coordinating legal developments, diplomatic traction and public narrative. The Stop Ecocide campaign works to support the establishment of ecocide as a crime at the International Criminal Court.
