Through keynotes, lectures, and workshops, I aim to inspire people to see nature differently. Law plays an important role in this. The law is alive and can be seen as a transformative tool. Norms and values in the law must keep up with the times. My mission is to introduce people to the fastest-growing legal movement of the 21st century, Rights for Nature, in an accessible and inspiring way.
I give custom-made keynotes, lectures, guest lectures, and workshops for specific audiences. As a UN expert, I have extensive knowledge of various examples of the Rights of Nature. I take you on a journey where we discuss Rights for Nature around the world, from the Amazon rainforest in Colombia to the sacred rivers in Bangladesh, to the initiatives in the Netherlands for the Meuse, Amelisweerd, and the Wadden Sea. In recent years, I have given many keynotes and lectures at universities, conferences, festivals, government organizations, NGOs, and companies. In 2023, I was invited to speak on behalf of the Netherlands in New York for the United Nations Secretariat-General. I have also given guest lectures at Harvard University and had the opportunity to address 6,000 people at a large music festival.
My specialization is Rights for Nature, but I also speak about future generations, youth participation, mobilization, and other environmental themes.
