December 20th Stop Ecocide Foundation is organizing the lecture and network drinks:

"To protect the environment: is law the future?"

Cases from Europe and the Netherlands

Days before Christmas, we would like to bring a positive message when it comes to the environment. Therefore, Stop Ecocide Foundation is organizing a lecture on the topic of ecocide, where the focus will be on possible ways to contribute to a better world for the Earth’s environment and its inhabitants: is there a solution within (or through) the law? How can ecocide law improve environmental protection? How could private law improve environmental protection? What is the role of politics? Our speakers will be considering these questions each from their respective backgrounds. In doing so, they will focus specifically on Europe and the Netherlands.
