The Ecocide Report Episode 12: August 2025

In episode 12 of The Ecocide Report, Chidi and Jojo explore the landmark ICJ Advisory Opinion on states’ climate obligations, along with the Inter-American Court's ground-breaking declaration that preventing the mass destruction of nature is a jus cogens norm under international law.

They celebrate Africa's leadership at AMCEN 20, where ecocide became a continental priority, and examine the Council of Europe's new convention targeting conduct ‘tantamount to ecocide’. The episode covers domestic progress from Scotland, Argentina, Peru, and beyond.

Jojo also covers Ecocide Law Advisory's global launch, while looking ahead to the IUCN Congress (where an Ecocide Law motion is live), Africa Climate Week, and COP30 in Belém.
