Greta Thunberg and French President Emmanuel Macron are among the supporters of a campaign to have the International Criminal Court hear cases of 'ecocide'.

They're calling it "ecocide".

"In this day and age, it's no longer possible to say that one is destroying large swathes of nature without realising what one is doing," Stop Ecocide's Jojo Mehta says. President Macron's involvement began in 2019, when large swathes of the Amazon caught fire under suspicious circumstances. Macron personally accused the Brazilian government of not doing enough to protect the forests from destruction.Brazil's populist leader, Jair Bolsonaro — a self-proclaimed climate change denier — initially ridiculed the idea of an ecological emergency and refused to accept international assistance.

US Army used Agent Orange to kill dense tropical foliage, which could have provided their enemy cover, during the Vietnam War.

DrRonBaumann Lest we ever forget Polly Higgins' tireless work on Ecocide :

ABCReligion I am shook that this was not a law already! I hope the enforcement of it is not paltry and therefore an ineffective deterrent

When land is cleared for farming, or forrests are cut down for their timber, it’s called Ecocide but when it’s for Solar Farms it’s called Eco-Friendly. The Global Warming hypothesis is a Scam.

France WHERE the land has ALREADY been developed, in Europe, where they went too far, and have reforestation processes, now wants to make others doing what they did an international CRIME!!

The world has evolved to another level on environmental protection. Coal miners and deforestation industries are living on thin ice. Workers in these industries must now plan to find jobs elsewhere or be jobless by 2025. MPs defying this are sending these workers to oblivion

Good work

...coupled with historical cases of ecocide and CriticalTheory, this could be a disastrously bad proposal. But, if there's a cut off date, it could be a useful tool for ending biodiversity loss and environmental degradation.

About time.

Yes please. But enforcing such a thing? Punishing? How?
