Monica Feria-Tinta is a lawyer based in England and Wales but with an international outlook . She has a passion for, and a world-leading expertise in, representing climate, nature, water and indigenous peoples in high-profile legal cases. 

In this episode she discusses:

  • how she was the first lawyer to bring climate claims to court successfully.
  • her famous work with indigenous people around the world.
  • why she believes, eventually, rivers will have statutory protection in the UK.
  • why the law needs to move from its previously anthropocentric focus, towards an environmentally inclusive approach.
