Watch our video and apply for the biggest Job on Earth: we are seeking a visionary business leader to futher the cause for a law of Ecocide.
Polly Higgins, barrister and international environmental lawyer, proposed to the United Nations in April 2010 that Ecocide be classed as the 5th Crime Against Peace alongside Genocide, Crimes Against Humanity, Crimes of Aggression and War Crimes.
