Philippe Sands in conversation with Diana Fox Carney
Can We Put the Planet on Trial?
– Knuden Auditorium
Can the destruction of our natural world become an international crime? In his forthcoming book The Fifth Crime: On Ecocide, Justice and Hope, international lawyer and acclaimed author Philippe Sands explores the campaign to recognise ecocide as a crime under international law. In conversation with economist and climate policy expert Diana Fox Carney, he examines the legal, economic and political forces that enable environmental destruction, and asks whether we can hold those responsible to account. What would it take to make the protection of our planet a matter of justice, and can the law help change our future?
