EU project studies giving legal rights to nature
Original: Investigating the potential of legal rights for nature | HRoN Project | Results in Brief | HORIZON
The European Commission's CORDIS research service has published a results briefing on the HRoN project, a Horizon-funded study investigating whether natural entities such as rivers, forests or ecosystems could be granted legal rights. The write-up outlines the project's examination of how such 'rights of nature' frameworks might work in law and what granting nature legal standing would mean for governance, environmental protection and courts.
Why now: Growing international debate over granting legal personhood to rivers and ecosystems has drawn attention to EU-funded research on the topic.
