Leida Rijnhout, Associate at the Stakeholder Forum for a Sustainable Future

This week's episode features Leida Rijnhout, environmental justice expert and Associate at the Stakeholder Forum for a Sustainable Future. During our conversation, we discuss how we cannot afford any more business-as-usual from the private sector or governments that damage the environment whenever and wherever they want. We talk about the costs of inaction and how exceeding our planetary boundaries will have devastating consequences for us and future generations. We also discuss the need for a global framework for environmental governance and law to maintain, protect, and manage our commons and our environment on this planet and how the 2022 Civil Society Declaration provides an opportunity for civil society to spark a global conversation and a chance to commit to transparent and accountable actions for our common home.

The Common Home of Humanity proposes an ambitious new global pact for the environment. This proposal's cascading effects could be systemic and will assuredly produce huge impacts on international relations, economics, and open the doors to restoring a well-functioning Earth System. Common Home Conversations is the place to discuss a new social contract between society, economy, and the Earth System.
