Polly Higgins believes, when it is right to speak out and shine a light on a dark corner.

“Such are the consequences of our current business practices that we are now on a course that spells disaster for humanity and the Earth. To ignore the warning issued by the OECD last week – that current policy will increase the Earth’s temperature 3 or more degrees by 2100 – is in fact a breach of our human right to life.

“However, I believe we can change our course very fast. This week I have submitted to all governments a concept paper, entitled Closing the door to dangerous industrial activity.”

The paper is freely available to the public at www.eradicatingecocide.com.

Polly Higgins is also giving the annual Rachel Carson Memorial lecture in London on 30^th March.
