#EHRDs from #SouthAfrica, #Indonesia, #Malaysia & #Lebanon shared testimonies of how a #BindingTreaty that protects right to #HealthyEnvironment can protect people & planet, esp as it relates to anti-SLAPP protection, gender justice, Indigenous Peoples' rights & corporate accountability in conflict.
"A #BindingTreaty that does not expressly include the right to #HealthyEnvironment will be incomplete from the start.”
UN @srenvironment.bsky.social Astrid Puentes urges States to adopt an ambitious instrument that strengthens corporate accountability, access to justice & #EHRDs protection.
The GEN is at the side event to the 12th session of the #OEIGWG that will address #EnvironmentalJustice in the Binding Treaty, highlighting corporate impacts linked to conflict, ensuring accountability, protecting #EHRDs, and the right to a #HealthyEnvironment.
In context of #CDENV 2nd meeting, I share the letter sent, urging to the @coe.int to expressly recognise the #humanright to a #healthyenvironment in a legally binding instrument.
