Lektor ved Institut for Samfundsvidenskab og Erhverv, Roskilde Universitet "Som lektor i politisk økonomi ved jeg hvordan manglen på juridiske rammer til beskyttelse af naturen har skabt et system hvor miljøødelæggelser kan foregå uden reelle konsekvenser. Som aktivist ser jeg at en økomord lovgiving ville være et afgørende paradigmeskift der vil transformere beslutningsprocesser i både erhvervslivet og det politiske system ved at etablere et bindende ansvar for miljøskader og dermed fundamentalt ændre vores forhold til naturen. Som mor forstår jeg at kampen for at få ecocide anerkendt som en strafbar forbrydelse handler om mere end jura og politik – det handler om hvilket samfund og hvilken planet vi efterlader til vores børn Derfor støtter jeg Stop Ecocide Danmarks arbejde for at sikre, at omfattende ødelæggelser af vores natur ikke længere kan foregå på lovlig vis."

Associate Professor, Economic Policy, Institutions and Change, Roskilde University, Denmark

"As an Associate Professor in economic policy, I know that the lack of a legal framework to protect nature has fostered a system that allows environmental destruction to happen without any real consequences.

As an activist, I'm convinced that an ecocide law is the crucial paradigm shift that will transform decision-making processes in both business and the political system by establishing binding liability for environmental damage and thus fundamentally changing our relationship with nature.

As a mother, I understand that the fight to have ecocide recognized as a crime is about much more than law and politics - it's about what kind of society and planet we leave for our children."

“The ideal of limitless growth is leading to limitless violations of the rights of the Earth and of the rights of nature. This is ecocide.”

Marine biologist, oceanographer, explorer, author, lecturer and co-founder of Mission Blue

"There is a real case to be made for recognising ecocide in the International Criminal Court right along with genocide. Our existence is on the line."

Co-Founder of Scientists For Future& Author

"The number of human victims due to environmental destruction and the advancing climate crisis is increasing more and more. That is why it is only logical to hold those responsible for ecocide liable in the same way as for war crimes."

Founder of Liology Institute, Author & Cognitive Historian

"If ecocide were declared a crime by the ICC, this could have a daunting effect on those corporate tyrants who currently know they can get away with devastating the world’s “sacrifice zones” where they are pillaging the earth’s resources for profit."

Award-winning geneticist, broadcaster, world leader in sustainable ecology, and co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation.

"Ecocide is not only a crime against life, it is suicidal for us because we are the apex predator that is utterly dependent on nature's services."

Author, spiritual leader, politician, and activist

“Polly Higgins did something extremely important. She changed the way our civilization now looks at the rights of the earth itself. By bringing the notion of ecocide into legal question, she has expanded the way we think of what is happening around us.”

Ethologist and Founder of Jane Goodall Institute. UN Messenger of Peace

“The concept of Ecocide is long overdue. It could lead to an important change in the way people perceive – and respond to – the current environmental crisis.”
