Towards Rights Of Nature On The Island Of Ireland
In 2023, the Citizens’ Assembly on Biodiversity Loss recommended that substantive and procedural Rights of Nature be incorporated in Bunreacht na hÉireann [the Irish Constitution] to protect biodiversity.
We support the Citizens’ Assembly recommendation, and call upon the Irish Parliament and Government to hold a referendum of the people to amend the Constitution to secure the Rights of Nature.
Everyone is invited to submit comments here.
Your comments — in support of giving the people of Ireland an opportunity to decide on the question of incorporating the Rights of Nature into the Irish Constitution — will be passed on to the members of the Joint Committee on Environment and Climate Action as they draft their final proposal to be submitted to Taoiseach Leo Varadkar by December 31st, 2023.
