In May 2022, just ahead of the Stockholm +50 conference, We Don’t Have Time hosted a major event on ecocide law, featuring a number of influential speakers including Andreas Follér, then head of sustainability at Scania, and Richard Brisius, The Ocean Race.
Ever since, We Don’t Have Time has consistently supported ecocide law, not least by alloting precious air time on live streamed sessions, most recently from COP29, when Fredrik Nilzén, Scania, Johan Falk, Exponential Roadmap Initiative, Alf Blomqvist, Chair of Scandinavian Enviro Systems, and Nina Macpherson looked at why ecocide law is needed and current progress.
“Destroying nature for profit is an outdated business model. The legal approach of ecocide law is one of the most efficient and concrete ways to drive real change. By holding companies and leaders accountable for large-scale environmental destruction, we ensure that those who exploit no longer profit at the expense of our planet. The work being done to establish ecocide law is not only impressive—it is essential. The future belongs to those who build the future, not those who destroy nature,” says Ingmar Rentzog, Founder and CEO of We Don’t Have Time.
“The practical, hands-on support of We Don’t Have Time has been, and continues to be, invaluable and we could we could not be more grateful,” says Monica Schüldt, Co-founder of Ecocide Law Alliance.
