Advocating for the Planet - how law can Help the Environment
Q: What international developments could UK law learn from to better protect nature?
She cites ecocentric approaches from other jurisdictions, like Ecuador's constitution recognizing nature's rights, and the growing momentum in the UK around declaring rights for rivers, illustrating how international precedents can influence national reform.
Advocating for the Planet - how law can Help the Environment
Q: Why is a planet having legal rights important for the environment?
Monica explains that recognizing nature as a rights-bearing subject helps shift the legal framework away from exploitative, anthropocentric approaches and enables meaningful remedies and protections that can address ecological harm at systemic levels.
Planet Possible News - April 2026
Q: Are those targets likely to be ones that it's the government's responsibility to meet, and will they be granular at the property level or national level?
John suggests a three-layer framework: mandatory standards for government departments, regulations for regulated industries and major sites, and a third layer addressing individual and community roles, implying a mix of national standards and locally relevant, householder-level goals.
New York City - A Planet Possible Special
Q: How are the four nitrogen-removal plants upgraded without stopping operation?
Upgrades were sequenced in phases with extensive planning and guidance to ensure continuous water treatment; operators received training and the process was designed to be online and adaptable to temperature and weather variations.
New York City - A Planet Possible Special
Q: Tell us what a cloudburst is and how New York is addressing this issue.
A cloudburst is a sudden, intense downpour localized to a neighborhood, leading to basement flooding and other impacts; New York is addressing this through investments in seawalls, rain gardens, and resilient drainage approaches that can handle extreme events and protect communities.
