Documentary abstract — original language
The growing number of cases of granting rights to nature across the planet signals a global move towards eco-centric lawmaking – from a human-dominated rights regime towards laws that include or centre on nature. This chapter considers a redux in the idea of rights of nature – a return, reworking and expansion of its practical application – by exploring some of the key global dynamics encouraging the spread and uptake of the rights of rivers specifically, and rights of nature more generally. This includes advocacy by international organizations, evolving scientific understandings of human-nature interdependence and shifts in social theory challenging human exceptionalism and recognizing more-than-human interrelations. A central aim of legal innovations for the rights of nature is to combat environmental destruction and ensure the health of ecosystems by recognizing nature’s intrinsic value and expanding rights to natural entities. The chapter argues that as well as representing opportunities for new insight, changed moral consciousness and legal outcomes for the protection of nature and planet, necessary questions must be asked about the possible pitfalls of this shift in law. Lastly, the chapter highlights the importance of recognizing the rights of vulnerable human communities together with natural entities for productive and just outcomes.
