Scotland: cross-party support for ecocide law parliamentary motion

Cross-party support has been gathered for a motion to the Scottish parliament submitted by MSP Monica Lennon welcoming the new definition of ecocide from the expert drafting panel convened by the Stop Ecocide Foundation.

The motion also welcomes the growing global support for criminalising ecocide and pays tribute to the pivotal work in this regard of the late Polly Higgins, Scottish barrister and legal pioneer and co-founder with Jojo Mehta of the Stop Ecocide International campaign.
