Call for the Global Recognition of the Right to a Healthy Environment

04.02.21

In this time of climate emergency and COVID-19 crisis, we have come together as civil society organizations, social movements, local communities, and Indigenous Peoples to call on the United Nations Human Rights Council to recognize without delay the human right to a safe, clean, healthy, and sustainable environment.

The first version of this letter was sent on September 10, 2020, and has been signed by 1,065 organizations so far. It remains open for new signatures.

We respectfully ask you to join with us, support this call, and share it with other organizations that might be interested in joining this call.
