A Barrister for the Earth

2025 book by Monica Feria-Tinta

Summary

A Barrister for the Earth is the 2025 debut non-fiction book by the British-Peruvian author Monica Feria Tinta, exploring how legal systems can rise to protect life on planet Earth. The book treats the Earth as a living organism and asks whether a planet can have legal rights, whether it could be defended in a court of law, and how we could redefine a 'right to life'. The book was published by Faber & Faber in April 2025. The book has been shortlisted for Best Political Book by a Non-Parliamentarian at the 2025 Westminster Book Awards.
