Meet the Speakers: Jojo Mehta
The conference wouldn’t be complete without Jojo Mehta, CEO and co-founder of Stop Ecocide International!
Jojo founded Stop Ecocide International in 2017 together with the late barrister and legal pioneer Polly Higgins, to advance the recognition of ecocide as a crime at the International Criminal Court. Since then, she has overseen the remarkable growth of the movement, bridging legal developments, diplomatic engagement, and public narrative.
As Chair of the Stop Ecocide Foundation and convenor of the Independent Expert Panel for the Legal Definition of Ecocide, chaired by Philippe Sands KC and Dior Fall Sow, she helped shape the 2021 legal definition of ecocide, a milestone that continues to influence legislative and policy developments around the world.
Jojo will speak about the current ecocide movement during the evening event at the Conference on Ecocide, Human Rights and Environmental Justice in London. Those who can’t make it to London can also join us online.
