EU: Recognise the rights of nature

The citizens’ initiative brings together organizations and people from various EU countries who all want the EU’s legal system to treat nature and everyone living on this planet with empathy and respect. If we succeed, the rights of nature could be recognized in EU legislation. Read more about the initiative here.
