The Rights of Nature Toolkit promotes access to justice by de-mystifying the laws regulating water pollution and providing practical advice on how to use legal tools to protect rivers.
​The toolkit - produced by students and staff at Kings College London - aims to help community activists, legal clinics, and legal professionals promote the Rights of Rivers, especially the right to be free from pollution.  Learn more about it here.
