Stop Ecocide

Today we have an unexpected conversation, convened at the 11th hour, to mark some amazing news from France this week: President Macron has announced that he will champion the establishment of an international crime of ecocide as a way to hold major polluters to account under criminal law.

It's the latest milestone in a global campaign to criminalise the destruction of ecosystems - a campaign pioneered by inspirational UK barrister Polly Higgins who sadly passed away last year. Polly would have celebrated her 52nd birthday just yesterday on the 4th July had she still been with us.

The Stop Ecocide campaign was founded in 2017. Their mission is to support the establishment of ecocide as an international crime, in order to forbid and prevent further devastation to life on Earth. They are the only global campaign with this exclusive focus.
