Wild Law

We are rapidly destroying our only habitat, Earth. It is becoming clear that many of the treaties, laws and policies concluded in recent years have failed to slow down, let alone halt or reverse, this process. Like Fritjof Capra, who argues that our survival requires a radically different social and economic structure, the author shows that the survival of the community of life on Earth (including humans), requires us to alter fundamentally our understanding of the nature and purpose of law and governance, rather than merely changing laws. In describing what this new "Earth governance" and "Earth jurisprudence" might look like, he also gives practical guidance on how to begin moving towards it.
