"Criminalising ecocide is about recognising that when ecosystems collapse, so too do the conditions for human dignity."

During Climate Week in New York, Suriname announced it will permanently protect 90% of its tropical forests – far exceeding the global ‘30×30’ conservation goal. With 93% of its land covered in rainforest, the country plays a vital role as a carbon sink, absorbing more CO₂ than it emits. Indigenous and Maroon leaders emphasise the need for legal recognition of ancestral lands to ensure forests are protected from illegal mining and logging. A coalition of environmental donors has committed $20 million to support forest protection and sustainable community livelihoods. Suriname’s pledge sets a new standard for Amazonian nations and offers a replicable model for ambitious climate action ahead of COP30.
