Stop Ecocide International

Who we are

Stop Ecocide International is a global environmental NGO at the heart of the growing momentum to make ecocide — mass damage and destruction of ecosystems — an international crime. We work with politicians, diplomats, faith leaders, academics, business leaders and a global network of legal experts, policymakers and civil society partners to advance recognition of ecocide law at national and international levels. Through expert advice, advocacy and communication we aim to catalyse the systemic change needed to safeguard life on our planet.

Our culture and values

Our culture is grounded in trust, integrity and collaboration. We are an agile, expert and passionate team united by a shared purpose—to help make ecocide a national and international crime and protect the Earth’s vital ecosystems. We work with focus, mutual respect and humour, fostering a supportive environment where diverse voices and ideas are valued. We aim to inspire, connect and empower others across sectors and around the world to catalyse systemic change for people and planet.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

At Stop Ecocide International, we believe that safeguarding the environment cannot succeed without equity, diversity and inclusion at every level of our work. We are committed to building a team whose diverse experiences—across geography, culture, identity and experience —are actively welcomed and valued. We strive to ensure that all voices are heard, and that opportunity is open to everyone, particularly those from under-represented communities. Fairness and respect are not just principles, but the foundation of everything we do.
