Grant Scottish rivers, including the River Clyde, the legal right to personhood Petition Under Consideration - 382 SignaturesOpen Petition since 13th December 2024 The [Universal Declaration of River Rights (UDRR, 2020) was first developed by Earth Law Center in 2017] (https://www.earthlawcenter.org/river-rights) and provides a framework of six minimum rights that are possessed by rivers. Our podcast, 'Who owns the Clyde?', centres around the unrealised potential of the Clyde due to fragmented ownership and inconsistent stewardship. Granting the Clyde legal personhood would enable ecological and common human interests to thrive. International examples of granting legal personhood to rivers as a means of protecting natural habitats and the common good include: * Whanganui River, New Zealand granted personhood in 2017 * Hundreds of Bangladesh's rivers were legally designated as living people in 2019 * 2021, Canada's Magpie River, called the Mutuhekau Shipu by the Innu First Nation, gained legal personhood. We held three well-attended events joined by residents, Leader of the Glasgow City Council Susan Aitken, Councillor Graham Campbell, Paul Sweeney MSP, Councillor Holly Bruce, and former MSPs Sandra Whyte and Andy Wightman.
