Ecocide, Business and Human Rights, December 14th, 17-18 CET How does international ecocide law support human rights? How can business help?
About this event
In October 2021, the UN Human Rights Council adopted a resolution recognising the human right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment and calling on UN Member States to cooperate to implement this right.
Many businesses are already successfully working towards a zero or net zero emissions target, and are now starting to look for complementary and direct ways to protect human rights and biodiversity.
How can international law on mass destruction of ecosystems - ecocide – enable other efforts towards sustainability?
Join us on December 14th, at 17-18 CET, to find out more.
