'We want to add ecocide to the list of international crimes': Head of Stop Ecocide International




The head of Stop Ecocide International has spoke to FRANCE 24 from the UN Ocean Conference in the south of France about the need to legally recognise crimes against the environment as serious crimes. Jojo Mehta jointly founded the organisation back in 2017 with the aim of using the law to make destructive practices illegal. She says we don’t take damage to the environment seriously enough, and that her aim is to be able to hold individuals accountable for their environmental crimes. She spoke to us in Perspective.
