Developing ecocide law.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” — Nelson Mandela

Our children and young people will inherit the world that we leave them. They will have their work cut out. What we teach them now can make a huge difference to how they approach and tackle the very different environment that they will inhabit.

Education can be a powerful tool in raising awareness of the issues concerning the environment, as well as fostering critical thinking, empowering advocacy and promoting the interdisciplinary thinking that will be required.

We are currently working with international educators to collate and develop materials to introduce children and young people to the concept of ecocide law and the pivotal role it can play in creating a safer future for them.

In the meantime, here are a couple of wonderful resources:
