A Barrister for the Earth: Ten Cases of Hope for Our Future
A$40.20
A top climate barrister shares ten legal battles that give hope for the protection of the planet
Can a planet have legal rights? Could it be defended in a court of law? How do we redefine a 'right to life'?
A revolution is taking place. Around the world, ordinary people are turning to courts, seeking justice for environmental wrongs. At the forefront of this movement, pioneering barrister Monica Feria-Tinta advocates not only for people, but also for those who have no voice: for rivers, forests and endangered species.
In A Barrister for the Earth, Feria-Tinta takes us behind the scenes of ten real cases as she argues against the destruction of cloud forests and for sovereign states to account for inaction. Each of these are landmarks signalling that we are at an important juncture, in which the law can be a powerful tool for the lasting change.
