EU project examines giving legal rights to nature
Original: Investigating the potential of legal rights for nature | HRoN Project | Results in Brief | HORIZON
The HRoN Project, funded under the EU's Horizon research programme, is investigating whether natural entities such as rivers, forests and ecosystems could be granted legal rights of their own. The work forms part of a wider debate over 'rights of nature' laws, which have already been adopted in some countries and are drawing growing interest among European policymakers and legal scholars.
Why now: EU-funded research on granting legal personhood to nature is feeding into ongoing debates about environmental protection law.
