The Right to a Healthy Environment

The Right to a Healthy Environment means everyone has the legal ability to enjoy clean air, water, and land that are safe and sustainable. It recognizes that a healthy environment is essential for our well-being, and that governments and businesses have a responsibility to protect natural resources from pollution and harm. This right helps ensure communities can thrive without risking their health due to environmental damage. It also empowers individuals and groups to advocate for policies that promote environmental health and hold parties accountable for actions that threaten it.
