Welcome to conference by the Riverine Rights research project.In late 2016 and early 2017, rivers in Colombia, New Zealand and India were given legal personhood.
The research project Riverine Rights have studied the cases in detail: How and why did they happen, and what are their implications?
Together with invited experts we discuss the successes and challenges of this legal novelty and place it in a broader context.
In a time of extensive environmental crises, does legal personhood offer new and promising ways of securing the life and wellbeing of rivers and those living with them?
Can legal personhood and rights of nature be useful elsewhere? Is it applicable to a Norwegian context?»
Funded by The Research Council of Norway and by the Rights, Power and Accountability (RAPID) Research Cluster at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU).
