Rights of nature at Erfurt Regional Court

On 2 August 2024, the District Court (Landgericht) in Erfurt, Germany became the first German court to recognise the rights of nature in the case 8 O 1373/21. The second case cited the Amazon of Rights project as an important reference point in current debates about the right of nature in Europe and internationally. The mention of rights of nature in this case may have potential ramifications for EU law and member states. To the newsletter.
