Why RONSUS?

Proponents of the Rights of Nature concept (RoN) argue that nature is not merely a resource or an aspect of our surroundings, but a value in itself – a being which should be treated as a subject of law. According to them, this approach would provide a better standard of protection of nature. But is it feasible, and can it be reconciled with other rights? How does it interact with other concepts, such as the Sustainable Development Goals adopted in UN's Agenda 2030?

We look at the concept of Rights of Nature through the lens of sustainability (SUS), to assess the adequacy, indispensability, and practicability of RoN. In doing so, we examine legal issues from an interdisciplinary perspective – and vice versa. The RoN-focused research is supplemented by projects and events related to sustainability in the broader sense.

This website will serve as a source of information about our research and the ways we interact with the society. Feel free to reach out to us at sustainability@uj.edu.pl!
