The destruction of ancient rainforests, the mass extinction of species, global pollution and the far-reaching consequences and threats to social security and safety, underline the urgency to recognize ecocide as an international crime.

The question of ecocide is not just a legal or political problem, but it is also a problem of the imagination. What kinds of stories need to be told, what kinds of justice are we seeking, and what are the spaces (legal, political, cultural) where such justice can happen?

Criminalizing large-scale destruction of the environment is an idea worth entertaining
