We had the pleasure to participate in a panel discussion focused on the novelty and potential consequences of Rights of Nature during the 1Europe closing event in Brussels.

Our team members Piotr Szwedo (PI) and Lena Helińska talked about the Rights of Nature with Silvia Bagni (Comparative public law expert, Università di Bologna), Pierre Brunet (Legal Theory expert, Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne), Linnea Luuppala (Environmental philosophy expert, University of Helsinki), and Thierry Lucas  (Biodiversity Coordinator Europe, United Nations Environment Programme).

The discussion was focused on two questions: what is novel or revolutionary in Rights of Nature, and would it be a good idea to introduce them into European legal systems?
