Things to do

We believe that the proposal to recognise Rights of Nature, as well as that to recognise the rights of people to a healthy environment, is a critical step for our society in addressing the climate and biodiversity crisis..

The Government needs to act on the recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly and the NBAP. We believe that the recommendation of the JOC provides a way forward for dealing with this issue within the life of the current Government.

Accordingly, we seek your endorsement of the call for a referendum on the Rights of Nature ahead of a crucial debate on the issue in Dáil Éireann on 11 April 2024. Join us in the campaign of our lifetimes and for those of future generations of humans and other species!
