The time has come for human civilization to realize that it can only sustain itself with harmonious interactions with nature and all the lifeforms that exist as a part of it. What we call “progress” will only have real value when we strive to put the whole of earth into the context.

Recognizing the current limitations of the human-centric modern law system, the Academic Society on Earth Jurisprudence pursues studies of Earth-centric laws and governance systems.
The academic society explores alternative thinking and systems in which not only people, but also nature has rights to exist together through various activities that include discussions, lecture series, publication of academic papers, and community programs.

* Academic Society on Earth Jurisprudence
Academic Society on Earth Jurisprudence conducts annual academic forums as well as seminars and publishes books with its academic achievements. Its current main members are law school professors who specialize environmental law and other lawyers who practice constitution, economic law and climate change law.

The videos below are part of a week of communications marking the 10th Anniversary of cultural historian and philosopher Thomas Berry, who coined the term Earth Jurisprudence.

1. How can we make Earth Jurisprudence a reality?

To create the future now, we must root our resistance and our alternatives in the laws and limits of our living planet- Gaia. Gaia's Director, Liz Hosken, discusses how we can make 'Earth Jurisprudence' a reality- bringing humans back into right-relation with Nature and our greater, more generous ecological selves.

2. Why is Earth Jurisprudence important now?

Species extinction, cultural breakdown, language loss, climate change... we are living the consequences of breaking the laws that govern life. To survive and thrive, we require a transformational shift from human-centred to Earth-centred ways of being. Gaia's Director, Liz Hosken, explains the importance of 'Earth Jurisprudence' for anyone working to avert the multiple, interconnected crises of our times and to build a more resilient, diverse and abundant future.

3. Where does Earth Jurisprudence come from?

Earth herself and Indigenous Peoples- their cultures and governance systems- are the primary inspirations for Earth Jurisprudence. Gaia's Director, Liz Hosken, explains where 'Earth Jurisprudence' - the philosophy and practice of governing ourselves according to the Earth's laws- comes from.

4. What is Earth Jurisprudence?

"We are born into and embedded in the ways and cycles of life and their laws." Gaia's Director, Liz Hosken, explains what Earth Jurisprudence is.
