How can Ecocide Law help direct our techno-economic power?

Technology increases the speed and power of human activity, but does not make informed choices about the direction of those activities. How can making mass destruction of nature a crime before the International Criminal Court in the Hague – Ecocide Law – help direct our techno-economic power?

Welcome to a seminar about how making ecocide a crime can help:

  • reaching the Paris Agreement
  • protect biodiversity
  • protect human health
  • promote long-term economic stability and global security
  • prevent some illegal activities linked to organized crime

Kevin Noone, Professor of Chemical Meteorology at the Department of Environmental Science (ACES) at Stockholm University.

Elina Eriksson, associate professor and co-lead of the research group Sustainable Futures Lab at KTH.

Time: Wed 2023-09-27 16.30 – 18.00
