The #ASEAN Declaration on the #RightToAHealthyEnvironment, adopted on 26 October, is a landmark for environmental rights in Southeast Asia.

ASEAN brings global standards into regional focus.
This is an important step.

It’s something we already have the tools to fix. We need action that connects health, environment and human rights.

📣 We support @healthyenvcoe.bsky.social in their call to @coe.int Member States to act - especially given the recent International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling, which reiterated that #RightToAHealthyEnvironment is a prerequisite for the enjoyment of all other human rights.

Thread from my colleague @andresdelcas.bsky.social on the new resolution adopted by the UN Human Rights Council mentioning the #RightToAHealthyEnvironment, #PlasticsTreaty, and #PlasticPollution.

It’s time for Europe to align with other regional systems and advance human rights in the face of our greatest shared challenge yet. The future is watching.

I talked about the status of recognition and implementation of the #RightToAHealthyEnvironment. I highlighted the Advisory Opinion of the #ICJ concluding that this right is essential for all other human rights.

@genevaenvironmentnetwork.org did a great coverage!

Without recognizing the #RightToAHealthyEnvironment, the treaty risks failing those most affected by pollution, land grabs & climate breakdown.
We can’t afford a weak instrument.

#PeopleOverProfit

The law is clear. The #ICJ, Inter-American Court, UNGA and HRC have confirmed that:
✅ States must regulate private actors to prevent climate harm
✅“Polluter pays” principle upheld
✅ The #RightToAHealthyEnvironment is universal

Yet the LBI draft sidelines this. Civil society demands urgent fixes.

The Youth Climate Justice team was present at the Biennial Workshop on Developing Research in Children’s Rights and Family Law, hosted by @ucc.ie's School of Law on 10-11 April. We held discussions on #ChildParticipation, the #RightToAHealthyEnvironment and #ClimateLitigation 🗣️🌱🌍
