This report explores not just the idea of a radical shift toward recognizing rights of ecosystems (and our responsibilities to the Earth) but includes global examples from around the world where these new laws aretaking root.

We can choose to shift now, while there is still time to escape theworst devastation of climate chaos. Failing that, we must remember Mother Earth does not negotiate.
