Living within planetary boundaries: the business case for ecocide law

An in-person panel discussion event
May 31, 2023, 6pm

Wellington Building Room 310, 180 Wellington Street, Ottawa, Canada

Some of our economic activity is now beyond nature’s carrying capacity. Current environmental laws, policies and agreements have proved inadequate to keep these activities within safe bounds.

Hear from experts in the fields of finance, business and human rights, how the proposed crime of ecocide corrects a fundamental flaw in our global economy and protects a fundamental flaw in our global economy and protects both people and the planet.
