Guest Speaker Series - Relational Stewardship: Pathways to Climate Resilience and Healthy Ecosystems
Wednesday, Oct 01
- 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Rights of Nature - land and waters as kin
What are the Rights of Nature, where do they come from, and why are they important? Join us for a conversation on this legal framework, which recognizes ecosystems and natural entities as rights-bearing. Our speakers will discuss the movement's roots and its intersections with environmental law and community-based advocacy, offering insights into innovative approaches to environmental stewardship and justice.
