The first edition of the award ceremony was held in Mexico City : Urban Forest , which recognizes the environmental commitment of companies for using 100% recycled cardboard packaging, being part of the fight against climate change. This award is granted by Bio Pappel , through its Titan business group. The name Bosque Urbano ® comes from the circular economy model in which Bio Pappel is governed, which is based on revaluing the paper and cardboard waste of cities, to recycle them and convert them into new 100% sustainable paper and cardboard products. , thus promoting the recycling culture in Mexico. This means that by using recycled cardboard, companies capture carbon emissions, reduce their environmental footprint in the value chain and protect the lives of millions of trees in coniferous forests. The Urban Forest Award was attended by some of the country's most important companies, as well as the participation of the Forest Stewardship Councn ally and promoter of the circular economy and the protection of forests around the world. Within the framework of the award ceremony held in Mexico City, Miguel Rincón, General Director and President of the Board of Bio Pappel, highlighted that Earth, as far as we know, is the only planet in the universe that supports life, from enormous blue whales and sequoias to tiny bacteria and fungi. This environmental biodiversity is closely linked to human well-being, but as societies have industrialized, it is increasingly clear that this balance relationship has been affected. The warming of the planet is advancing at an unprecedented rate.
To address this global challenge, experts have noted that granting legal rights and protections to non-human entities, such as animals, trees and rivers, is essential if countries want to fight climate collapse and biodiversity loss, according to The Guardian . Is ecocide an international crime? The report titled Law in the Emerging Bio Age (2022) mentions that legal frameworks are crucial Iceland Email List in regulating how people interact with the environment and biotechnology. In countries such as Ecuador and Bolivia , rights have already been established for the natural world, while there is a campaign to convert ecocide - any unlawful or arbitrary act carried out in the knowledge that it is highly likely to cause serious, intense or long-lasting damage to the environment. environment—in a crime prosecutable in the international criminal court. Global action is imperative on biodiversity, which is already suffering from human actions. In this regard, the United Nations Foundation reveals that currently the extinction rate is 10 to 100 times higher than in the last 10 million years. Therefore, the report from the Law Society , the professional body for lawyers in England and Wales, explores how the relationship between humans and Mother Earth could be recalibrated by giving legal rights to animals in the future.
There is a growing realization that something very different must be done if our children are to have a planet to live on that is in any way enjoyable." Dr. Wendy Schultz, co-author of the report. rights-by-nature Legal rights to animals are trending According to Dr Trish O'Flynn, co-author of the report and interdisciplinary researcher who was previously national lead for civil contingencies at the Local Government Association, legal frameworks should be "fit for a more-than-human future" and have an effect on developments such as genetic modification or engineering. This means covering everything, including rivers, robots, and lab-grown brain tissue. According to O'Flynn, we occasionally believe that we exist outside of nature and that we have control over it. “But in reality, we are just a different species living in the wild. If you think of evolution as a linear process, humans are at the top of the evolutionary tree in certain respects. Still, the global environment is much more powerful than us. And what is happening with climate change and the loss of biodiversity is beginning to show how we think about it.
