Summary

In 2020, the Rights of Nature Law was reintroduced to the House of Representatives with the support of the Global Alliance for Rights of Nature. The initiative presents arguments for continued discussion in the lower chambers, citing influential leaders in other countries and the Ecuadorian constitution of 2008 as model actions. The proposal urges Argentina to deepen its way of understanding nature and to recognize its intrinsic value. Furthermore, the law requires an examination of the roles of exploitation and colonization in human relations with nature and calls for justice on social, environmental, and ecological levels.
