The Future Policy Award 2025: Living in Harmony with Nature highlights and celebrates policies worldwide that contribute to better living conditions of present and future generations by highlighting and implementing rights of nature as well biodiversity (conservation and restauration).  We have received various nomination for policies that seem interesting candidates for the award. Countries in Latin America have not only stimulated the debate on the rights of nature, they have already laid the foundations for a paradigm shift in legislation.  These policies must now be screened according to our well-established methodology. You can help us with this and thus contribute to identifying impactful laws and regulations aiming for sustainable policies securing the rights of future generations and nature. The task will give you the opportunity to learn more about the topic, as well as the policy landscape around this. It will also help you to improve your research and reporting skills.
