Universal Declaration for the Rights of Mother Earth

In 2010, more than 30,000 people from civil society groups around the world came together in Cochabamba, Bolivia, for the World Peoples Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth.

After intensive deliberations, an important declaration was created called the Universal Declaration for the Rights of Mother Earth.

The Declaration is the primary document for the International Rights of Nature Tribunal, and the Australian Peoples’ Tribunal.
