                        Wednesday 18th May

                        13:10 CEST (Vienna) - online event

                        at the CCPCJ - Commission on Crime Prevention and 
Criminal Justice, 16th - 20th May 2022

                        The Earth is experiencing massive environmental 
damage which is exacerbating the climate crisis and threatening lives, 
livelihoods and biodiversity.  Some of this destruction falls under existing 
environmental crimes, but much is “collateral damage” on a large scale 
caused by corporations in pursuit of profit. Legal sanctions are 
under-enforced and usually lead to fines or damages; these are treated as a 
cost of doing business.  An international crime of ecocide could criminalise 
“unlawful or wanton” acts threatening the most severe environmental harms, 
thus strengthening and underpinning existing regulatory measures being 
undertaken globally to protect the environment.

                        This session will look at the progress of this legal 
initiative and how it can deter reckless destruction, acting as a guide rail 
to foster healthier and more sustainable practices.
