- earthrise explores how individuals and communities are using the law to mitigate the effects of the climate and nature crises.
In Huaraz, in the Peruvian Andes, we meet farmer and mountain guide Saul Luciano Lliuya whose home is at risk of flooding due to glacial melt.
Together with the environmental justice NGO, Germanwatch, Saul is taking one of the Global North’s largest polluters to court, claiming it holds some responsibility for the threat to his home. If successful, a precedent would be set which could open the way for similar cases.
One legal precedent already having a global impact is the move to grant nature legal rights. Initiated by Ecuador in its 2008 constitution, nature’s legal personhood has been recognised in Europe for the first time.
We learn how residents campaigned for the Mar Menor in Spain to be granted rights in order to protect it from being destroyed by human activity.

Congratulations and profound thanks to the legal professionals who established the rights of the natural world in court. In a society where somehow, inexplicably and insanely, corporations have convinced courts to grant them legal status as “persons,” this victory pushes back on the suicidal notion that nature exists primarily to further enrich the wealthy. Nature now has a seat at the table. It’s an important start.
Excellent article. Thank you
Ancestry connected to the earth is the only forefathers that we should honor. Not colonists, Not industrialists, not autocrats. They taught us Nature itself is Sacred, and that there is no God above that will protect us from Nature. We must live in honor and service of the earth and dispel those who disregard this reverence.
Are you an aspiring dictator?
Why do ants colonize?
Just saying
Maybe earth is supposed to change… no population without oil. Think about it!
@@therealcnn5346 i don't think our population boom is good. The anthropocene is leading to mass extinction. Ants don't colonize with intent they're subject to elements that dislocate them, and often times that dislocation in itself is the act of colonizing another colony.
@@Diana1000Smiles what makes you ask? Of course not. Reverence of Earth doesn't lead to an egocentric power structure. It leads to an anarcho-meritocratic system where goods and services are exchanged freely based on interdependent relationships.
The big companies have the control not the people
Nothing a little George Carlin ‘standup’ can’t explain 😂
We must get closer to MotherEarth and further away from the dollar, forget about the incentives and disincentives around money, and honor the life sustaining connections we have with eachother and the world.
Just become “a good German following orders.”
😂😂...poor countries shouldnt be deceived to give up their economic growth in the name of climate protection. That will be forever poverty.
People writing the end of each other, how fitting for us.
Maybe you should consider Human Rights some time also.
Remember rich polluter countries can easily give funds on ukraine for the war, but not on climate funds for loss and damage for most vulnerable countried
Legal path - grant Great Barrier Reef + each marine reef round Australian continent "Rights of Nature"
Better then science predicted
@@-wretched1 giving legal recognition to nature. Legal status for what is here on earth...non human as well as human. Legally enshrining rights for all life on earth to exist, thrive, evolve, interconnect in life supporting eco-systems. More than 10 countries now have Rights of Nature Laws.
May involve:
* Constitutional reform
* Transforming existing environmental laws
* Local laws & ordinances
(Eg .USA)
* developing legal
* mechanism for First Nations People to enshrine ancient first laws in modern legal instrument (eg. New Zealand)
* creating rights of naure for iconic ecosystems eg Great Barrier Reef Aust
the iran drones in russia contained pieces from 13 usa firms , building an empire , and they take the girl idea wich might not have been true , not go all out , against them.
Are you lost?
Developing countries emit 73% of CO2
8:02.. developing countries only produces 10%
Yeah but it makes people feel good to cry climate change and take away straws and plastic bags away from you.
But hay don't let the facts get in the way of their religion.
@@SecretEyeSpot wrong !!!
@@robertnussberger6449 thats what it said in the video
China has the developing country status. Paris climate accord allows China to double their current output. And, the jobs will stay in America with union wages including all those pensions? 🐂
Science
Just said it was not quantifiable
Maybe bad place to put city…
We need to change our shopping habbit, no more disposable clothing, poorly made electronic, house appliances that don't last long, less international travel, less meat consumption, is it possible? Especially when China rely on export of cheap and poor quality products, but the world are willing to pay for it.
Mass producers of waste the corporations need to produce less garbage and harmful materials to the earth. They produce more garbage that goes to waste than can be used.
The products I buy from China have all been excellent. Perhaps you just don't like their country?
