LUMEN on "The Rights of Nature: A European Journey" latest podcast

In the latest episode of "The Rights of Nature: A European Journey", host Raluca Besliu dives into a critical and fascinating topic: the legal arguments that could support nature’s rights within the European legal framework. Can nature itself have legal rights? Are there international or EU examples where these rights have been successfully recognized?

To help unpack these important questions, the podcast titled "The Rights of Nature: Legal Underpinnings" welcomes Silvia Bagni, Associate Professor of Comparative Public Law at the University of Bologna, and coordinator of the LUMEN project. Prof. Bagni shares her expertise on the concept of the 'ecosystem approach' in law, a central theme of her work in the project. 

"The Rights of Nature: A European Journey" is a podcast series dedicated to stimulating debates at the European level about legally recognising the rights of nature. The series brings together European experts, academics, grassroots activists, and local communities to share their experiences and insights on the topic. This podcast is hosted and produced by Raluca Besliu with funding support from the Greens/EFA in the European Parliament.
