Climate Change and the Rights of Nature

This talk explores the rise in greenhouse gas concentrations since 1992, leading to the 2023 declaration that "Climate breakdown has begun." Traditional approaches to address climate change have been ineffective. However, ancient insights from indigenous peoples and overlooked spiritual traditions offer fresh perspectives. With rights of nature now recognized in 24 countries, this session will spotlight the potential of reimagining our relationship with nature. Speakers Dale Jamieson, Professor Emeritus of Environmental Studies; Director, Center for Environmental and Animal Protection, NYU
