In honor of World Water Day on March 22, Law360 has published an article co-authored by Susan Lutzker and her INBLF colleague Thomas Wallentin, a partner in Kunz Wallentin Rechtsanwälte GmbH, a full-service law firm in Vienna, Austria. Susan and Thomas discovered their shared interest in the issue of legal standing for waterways and other elements of nature at an INBLF event in Vienna in June 2022. Susan and Thomas provide some history for this concept and highlight actions on both sides of the Atlantic that evidence an emerging shift in focus from a human-centered view of our planet to an ecocentric one better suited to its long-term survival.
