Exploring Environmental Law, Activism, and the Rights of Nature

A couple of week’s ago, LFN Co-Director Brontie Ansell and researcher Alex May took part in Love Our Ouse’s Rights of River Summit in Lewes, a town in Sussex in the south of England.

Last month, we submitted a response to the Scottish Government’s consultation on ‘A Human Rights Bill for Scotland' to emphasise the importance of taking an ecological approach to the Right to a Healthy Environment, and to highlight the role that Rights of Nature can have in realising this.

At 8.15am on Monday 20th November, the music and chatter of community radio stations across the UK will quieten, and give way to the sweet sound of birdsong.

We are proud to announce the release of a new research report, ‘Realising Rights of Nature: Understanding the Variety of Legal Instruments’, written by LFN Researcher Alex May.

With the end of the summer, we thought we would update you on some of what we have been up to so far this year.

LFN Researcher Alex May had a great time attending the Environmental Rights Centre for Scotland's Environmental Rights Summit yesterday. He delivered a workshop about what Rights of Nature are, developments around the world, and how we might advance them in the UK.
