"Antarctica should belong to itself" — Cormac Cullinan on Rights of Nature, Climate Justice & Polar Protection

Cormac Cullinan's vision is to have Antarctica recognized as an autonomous legal entity, at least equivalent to a country, which would allow it to be represented in international forums and legal proceedings. This would enable the continent to have a voice in decisions that affect its future, especially in the context of climate change. In an interview with Shackleton Co-Founder, Martin Brooks, Cormac Cullinan explains his bold new vision for the future of Antarctica.
