Craig Kauffman is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Oregon, and a member of the United Nations Knowledge Network on Harmony with Nature. He is also the co-author of the book 'The Politics of Rights of Nature - Strategies for Building a More Sustainable Future'. With the window of opportunity to take meaningful action on climate change and mass extinction closing, more and more communities, organizations, and governments around the world are calling for Rights of Nature (RoN) to be legally recognized. On this episode of Nature Revisited, Craig discusses how these Rights of Nature laws are helping to reframe our perspective of the rights of the natural world, and transforming governance to address environmental crises through more ecologically sustainable approaches to development.
