Environment Exchange: Human right to a healthy environment 16 Nov 2021

Human rights to nature are fast becoming a new frontier for the environmental movement as evidenced by the fact that the Human Rights Council formally recognised the right to a healthy environment in October this year. This represents a global change in perspective as people and Governments begin to understand the intimate relationship between human wellbeing and environmental health.
