What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to grant the River Clyde, and potentially other rivers in Scotland, the legal right to personhood by:
* adopting the Universal Declaration on the Rights of Rivers
* appointing a Nature Director to act as a guardian of the River Clyde, with the responsibility for upholding its river rights
* considering whether an alternative mechanism should be established to act for the rights of the river, its inhabitants (human and non-human), and society at large.
