On this episode of Eco Echo, host Nil Kıran speaks with legal scholar Meyra Güler about the emerging movement to criminalize ecocide—the widespread and severe destruction of ecosystems. We unpack the proposed Ecocide Recognition Act, which would add ecocide to national penal codes and to the International Criminal Court’s list of crimes alongside genocide and crimes against humanity. From the Vietnam War’s Agent Orange to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and ongoing Amazon deforestation, we explore real-world cases where decision-makers—CEOs, generals, and politicians—could be held personally accountable. Tune in to discover how law, justice, and environmental protection are converging to reshape our future.
