Pablo Fajardo [ES]

What does it take to sue one of the world’s most powerful oil corporations—and win?

In our inaugural episode of Defending Tomorrow, host Rodrigo Lledó Vásquez and Victor Rujano Bautista sit down with the legendary Pablo Fajardo. As the lead lawyer in the historic Lago Agrio case against Texaco (now Chevron), Fajardo secured a multi-billion dollar judgment for the victims of Amazonian pollution, a feat that earned him the Goldman Environmental Prize and the title of CNN Hero.

We dive deep into:

• The reality of litigating against environmental destruction.
• How the lessons from the Amazon informed the Independent Expert Panel's definition of Ecocide.
• Why the Rome Statute is the next necessary frontier for global justice.

Featured Guest: Pablo Fajardo, Lead Prosecutor and Environmental Advocate.
