Day 1: On Planetary Justice

Climate justice draws attention to the unequal distribution of responsibility and consequences of the climate crisis. Law is increasingly being used as an instrument in this context: in climate and environmental lawsuits, people demand from governments and companies to protect their livelihoods. The idea of “rights of nature” also calls for ecosystems such as rivers and forests to be recognized as legal entities. But can climate justice be enforced through legal action? And how does a man-made legal system relate to ecological systems? HAU Hebbel am Ufer invites international legal experts, environmental activists, artists and climate plaintiffs to a four-day, multi-layered focus on planetary justice from a legal perspective.

Indigenous voices like those of Erena Rangimarie RereOmaki Rhose, and artistic positions focus on relationships with the earth that go beyond the legal framework: (Lecture-) performances by Maria Cecilia Oliviera, Michał Zadara, Nova Ruth and Grey Filastine as well as music by Perera Elsewhere, combine discursive and aesthetic elements and create new visions for the future – between law and justice.
