The objective of this event is to raise awareness, promote understanding, and facilitate dialogue on the concept of granting legal rights to Nature as a means of protecting ecosystems, biodiversity, and the planet's natural balance. This dialogue aims to explore the intersection of environmental law, indigenous wisdom, and sustainability practices. On the way to COP16 Biodiversity in Cali is a priority also to highlight the experiences of the Rights of Nature, both academic and in territory with our partners.
