Stop Ecocide: Podcasts for the Planet: Recent Episodes
Stop Ecocide International
A podcast series produced by Dona Grace-Campbell, Stop Ecocide Canada, for Stop Ecocide International, an organization dedicated to protecting the future of life on earth.
This means stopping the mass damage and destruction of ecosystems, serious harm to nature which is taking place globally and is increasingly known as ”ecocide”. And right now, in most of the world, no-one is held responsible for it.
It’s time to change the rules. It’s time to make ecocide an international crime. Together with lawyers, diplomats, and civil society, we work toward amending the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court to include a crime of ecocide.
Each episode in this series features intriguing, inspiring leaders who are working tirelessly to slow — and ultimately, to stop — the wanton destruction that threatens our very existence.

In this 3rd episode 22 year old guest host and aspiring law student Saira Puhar introduces us to two outstanding human rights lawyers Kate Mackintosh and Lisa Oldring. Meeting in the aftermath of Rwanda, they see the imperative to criminalize some of the most heinous ecological crimes on the planet. The intersection of human rights and environmental rights becomes clear, as they explore culture, the UNICEF report on the state of climate change on children and the impunity with which these crimes have been committed.
The 26th global conference on the environment — COP26 — was postponed last year due to Covid, striking a heavy blow to those who believed the gathering was humanity's last chance to rescue the 2015 Paris climate accord, and avert the looming climate disaster.
The conference's postponement didn't deter hundreds of committed, articulate, passionate young people from almost 150 countries around the world from coming together virtually, to tackle some of the most pressing issues facing our planet.
"Mock COP26" resulted in a proposed treaty containing 18 powerful calls to action, a document that will hopefully help shape the debate at the re-scheduled COP26, to take place in Glasgow this November.
In this Stop Ecocide Canada podcast, two Mock COP26 participants discuss the event, their hopes and concerns going forward, and their views on changing laws to make ecocide a crime.
In this Stop Ecocide Canada podcast, host R.G. Morse discusses environmental advocacy and the future of our planet with two Canadian student activists — 14-year-old Ginger Oseki, and 16-year-old Miguel Pastór. The conversation ranges from Ginger's decision to allow herself to be arrested during a protest against old growth logging, to Miguel's thoughts on a future free of societal dominance systems. These are thoughtful, passionate — and youthful — voices that demand to be heard.
