Protecting the Planet and its People: Environmental Human Rights Law

This month on Humanities Matter, we take a closer look at a groundbreaking environmental human rights law being developed in Latin America and the Caribbean. What is it? How is it connected to the Escazú Agreement and the American Convention on Human Rights? And how could these developments shape the global conversation on indigenous rights, property laws, sustainable development, and environmental justice? All this and more with Dr. Mario Aguilera, author of the new book Environmental Human Rights: New Thinking from Latin America and the Caribbean—which is part of the series “Theory and Practice of Public International Law”, published by Brill.
