What is ecocide
Ecocide means unlawful or wanton acts committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and either widespread or long-term damage to the environment being caused by those acts.
It is destroying nature on which we all depend. It also undermines many sustainable businesses. There is currently no effective way to stop it. Law is missing and only law can fill the gap.
“This is a missing piece. The more I learn about it, the more obvious it is that this is a flagrantly missing part”
Andreas Follér
Head of Sustainability, Scania
Ecocide Law Alliance is a foundation with the purpose to work for the introduction of the crime of ecocide in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
