Description

Advancing Nature’s Rights from Principle to Practice brings together Juan Carlos Navarro and Callie Veelenturf, Founder of the For Nature Foundation, to explore how the vision of a Universal Declaration of Nature’s Rights can be translated into real-world action; building on the keynote, the discussion will examine how governments, legal innovators, and civil society are operationalizing rights-based approaches to protect ecosystems, from policy design and legal frameworks to community-led stewardship and enforcement, while highlighting the role of partnerships and aligned capital in scaling impact, and offering a practical roadmap for embedding nature’s rights into the systems that shape resilience, accountability, and long-term prosperity.
