The proposed constitution included Rights of Nature (RoN) provisions, building on Ecuador’s 2008 Constitution and experiences found in over 30 countries worldwide. Had the constitution been approved, Chile would have become the third country with national RoN. This chapter argues that RoN are an idea whose time has come, with a long history and wide-ranging philosophical foundations in Indigenous and Western thought. In Chile, RoN drew on these varied traditions to integrate RoN into what activists, lawyers, and CC members called the Eco-constitution. This sought to lay the foundations for state responsibility for environmental stewardship, expand access to environmental justice, and make environmental rights transversal.

摘要

The proposed constitution included Rights of Nature (RoN) provisions, building on Ecuador’s 2008 Constitution and experiences found in over 30 countries worldwide. Had the constitution been approved, Chile would have become the third country with national RoN. This chapter argues that RoN are an idea whose time has come, with a long history and wide-ranging philosophical foundations in Indigenous and Western thought. In Chile, RoN drew on these varied traditions to integrate RoN into what activists, lawyers, and CC members called the Eco-constitution. This sought to lay the foundations for state responsibility for environmental stewardship, expand access to environmental justice, and make environmental rights transversal.
