Monica Feria-Tinta, a pioneering barrister at the forefront of global climate justice, explores the radical idea of legal rights for the planet.
In this compelling event, Feria-Tinta takes audiences behind the scenes of ten landmark environmental cases—from defending threatened cloud forests in the world’s first Rights of Nature case to a historic victory holding a sovereign state accountable for climate inaction on behalf of the Torres Strait Islanders.
Presented in partnership with Manchester Museum, the evening offers a rare chance to hear one of the most visionary voices in climate law and environmental advocacy.
Monica Feria-Tinta is a British-Peruvian barrister specialising in public international law and has been described as one of the UK’s most daring, innovative, and creative lawyers. A Barrister for the Earth: Ten Cases of Hope for our Future is her debut book.
