Radha d'Souza and Jonas Staal founded the Court for Intergenerational Climate Crimes (CICC) in 2019 : on alternative tribunal that prosecutes states and corporations for their complicity in climate crimes past, present and future. Rather than thinking of rights as individual property, D'Souza proposes to rethink thr current rights regime to acknowledge the reality of interdependency and intergenerationality between human and non-humans in shared ecosystems which must include possibilities of regeneration. In her lecture she will introduce the work of the CICC. Drawing on the cases prosectuted by the CICC, she will propose ways in which laws can be reimagined to prevent future climate crimes.
