@genevaenvironmentnetwork.orgSarah Barnier-Leroy of @coe.int highlights that though Europe remains to be the only region where regional human rights system does not explicitly enshrine right to #HealthyEnvironment, discussions are ongoing for development of an instrument on envt. and human rights based on R2HE.
@genevaenvironmentnetwork.orgDiscussing legal & institutional developments still needed to strengthen the right to #HealthyEnvironment, Sandra Epal Ratjen of @icjurists.bsky.social spotlights:
🔸 Further Constitutional protection
🔸 Mainstream beyond envt. domains
🔸 Engagement of ministries
🔸 Boost NHRIs & justice systems
@genevaenvironmentnetwork.orgAngela Kariuki of @unep.org shares opportunities to seize to bring in rights in environmental decisions and strengthen the implementation of the right to #HealthyEnvironment: regional level mobilization, 1st Review of #KMGBF, & embedding human rights principles in energy transition.
@genevaenvironmentnetwork.orgStressing the implementation of right to #HealthyEnvironment must be consistent with #UNDRIP, Juan León Alvarado of IITC stresses that the way forward is ensuring that protection of the environment and protection of rights of #IndigenousPeoples must advance together.
@genevaenvironmentnetwork.orgFormer UN Special Rapporteur David Boyd shares how the right to #HealthyEnvironment has been a catalyst for action:
🔸 Stimulating general comments from UN Treaty Bodies
🔸 Putting human rights at the core of #KMGBF
🔸 Supporting advisory opinions on climate change
🔸 & more.
@genevaenvironmentnetwork.orgReflecting on how recognition of the right to #HealthyEnvironment came from the "call from the ground", UN SR Astrid Puentes called for a shift from recognition to effective implementation, as it connects the "different planets" of human rights, health, environment, among others.
@genevaenvironmentnetwork.orgH.E. Amb. Božena Forštnarič Boroje of #Slovenia stresses the imperative of translating recognition of the right to #HealthyEnvironment into tangible improvements into peoples' lives. We have made important progress, but our responsibility is to turn this recognition into reality.
@genevaenvironmentnetwork.orgToday at #HRC63!
Ahead of the 5th anniversary of the recognition by the Human Rights Council of the right to #HealthyEnvironment, join this celebration as we take stock of progress and identify steps to advance the right.
