Can a planet have legal rights? Could it be defended in a court of law? How do we redefine a 'right to life'?

Top climate barrister Monica Feria-Tinta advocates not only for people, but also for those who have no voice: for rivers, forests and endangered species.

For the Kent College Lecture 2025, ‘one of Britain's most dazzling legal minds’ (Vogue) takes us behind the scenes of ten real environmental justice cases as she shows how the law can be a powerful tool for lasting change.
