Princess Esmeralda: “Only the recognition of ecocide as an international crime will prevent damage to the climate”

“Only, specifies Esmeralda, the recognition of ecocide as an international crime will make it possible to deter, but also to prevent and punish the "most serious damage committed against nature and the climate, to strengthen existing legislation, including multilateral environmental agreements. It is about protecting nature through criminal law, and also creating a moral imperative that can act as a shield for the living world”."
