#TheTimeIsNow -The case for universal recognition of the right to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment
23/02/2021
Description
The aim of the event is to present the report ‘The case for universal recognition of the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment’, by David Boyd, John Knox and Marc Limon; highlight that an important window of opportunity now exists to make a final push to secure universal recognition of R2E in 2021, via a Human Rights Council resolution followed by a General Assembly resolution; show how the content of a human right to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment has already been largely developed; and discuss how recognition of R2E would contribute to a variety of positive procedural and substantive outcomes, ranging from increased public participation in environmental management, to cleaner air and water.
