Focus on Earth trusteeship and the future of our planet

Who owns the Earth? We all do, but si­mul­ta­ne­ous­ly, no one does. In April 2023, Trinidad-born at­tor­ney Justin So­bion, along with Dutch aca­d­e­m­ic, Hans van Wil­lenswaard, launched their book, “Re­flec­tions on Earth’s Trustee­ship”. So­bion’s area of spe­cial­ty, en­vi­ron­men­tal law, is fea­tured in the book, which puts for­ward the con­cept of “earth trustee­ship” as a mod­el of plan­e­tary gov­er­nance to­wards re­duc­ing the im­pact of cli­mate change.
