In this episode of our Climate series, we look at Mar Menor, the first ecosystem in Europe to gain legal personhood. A unique place for several reasons, Mar Meno is now also the first natural entity to be represented at the European Court of Human Rights by our guest Monica Feria-Tinta, counsel for Mar Menor and a barrister practising in public international law and international arbitration at Twenty Essex Chambers in the UK.

Monica told us why the case of Mar Menor is important and how it relates to the growing awareness of environmental justice.
