A conversation with Jojo Mehta, executive director of Stop Ecocide International, about making ecocide a crime, something you can get arrested for and end up in prison. How do we get it from a discussion in lawyer circles and academic circles into international criminal law? And why is it going much faster over the last 5 years than anyone has expected?Law: an area we rarely touch but has the potential to shift our food and agriculture system, and many other systems, completely. Making ecocide a crime. Ecocide is broadly understood to mean mass damage and destruction of ecosystems – severe harm to nature which is widespread or long-term. Turning ecocide into a crime, most likely it would also over time change our consciousness and get ecocide into the realm of things you simply don’t do. What is even more fascinating is that large companies actually want this, so it creates a level playing field.This episode offers a rare glimpse into the crossroads of legal innovation and climate activism that could forever alter our relationship with the Earth. We examine the extraordinary momentum gained by movements such as Extinction Rebellion and youth-led climate strikes as well as we pay tribute to the late Polly Higgins, a tireless advocate whose vision of legal reform continues to inspire action. Unveiling the intricate dance of defining ecocide, this conversation brings to light the necessity of a legal framework adaptable to the evolving methods of environmental harm, forecasting a world where atrocities against nature are no longer tolerated.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/jojo-metha.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.
