File consists of an interview with Mumta Ito titled "Embedding green rights in the European Union." The interview was conducted by Silver Donald Cameron as part of The Green Interview. File includes video of the interview, preview video of the interview, printed transcript, and closed captioning file.

From the interview with Mumta Ito: "Basically, what we're looking to do - it's well known that we are facing unprecedented environmental issues and in my experience as an environmental lawyer, I can see that the current system of the environmental law that we have, which is pretty much based on a paradigm of nature as property, restricts citizens to having to bring cases through the planning and the administrative course. So, it's very difficult for communities to protect nature per se. The initiative that we're bringing is following the emerging paradigm that's appearing throughout the world in countries like Ecuador and Bolivia and in the municipalities throughout the United States-of recognizing a natural law approach to recognizing nature's inherent rights to thrive and to flourish. So, our European Citizens' Initiative is for recognizing and respecting the inherent rights of nature."

General note:

From The Green Interview website: "Topic: Green rights; Law and lawyers."

From The Green Interview website: Mumta Ito, founder and director of the International Centre for Wholistic Law. Formerly a high-powered corporate lawyer in the City of London, she currently heads the European Citizen's Initiative for Recognizing and Respecting the Inherent Rights of Nature.

Mumta Ito began her legal career in the heart of London's financial sector, advising investment banks, multinational corporations and governments on large-scale complex transactions. While outwardly successful, inside she found herself "feeling deeply unfulfilled." It was during a leave of absence that she experienced a profound spiritual transformation that led to what she later called "a personal journey of evolution."
