EU-funded project explores legal rights for nature

Original: Investigating the potential of legal rights for nature | HRoN Project | Results in Brief | HORIZON

The HRoN project, funded through the EU's Horizon programme, is examining whether natural entities such as rivers, forests and ecosystems could be granted legal rights of their own. The initiative reviews how such frameworks might work in practice, drawing on growing international debate over giving nature standing in courts. The European Commission has published a results brief outlining the project's findings on this emerging area of environmental law.

Why now: Interest is growing in the 'rights of nature' movement and the EU has just published results from this Horizon-funded study.
