A liveable future for young people & children is a right, not a luxury! As CRIN's Niamh Purcell says, legal protection of the right to a healthy environment would prove the @coe.int is serious about youth & climate justice. Ministers in Luxembourg, we count on your allyship!

The climate, pollution & biodiversity crisis is harming our health, says Denis Fernando of @friends-earth.bsky.social At next week's @coe.int meeting, Ministers must support a binding instrument legally protecting the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll - foundational to all human rights!

States must act now in a global environmental crisis. Former UN Rapporteur @drdavidboyd.bsky.social urges @coe.int Ministers meeting in Luxembourg to start negotiating a binding instrument on the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll. You've backed it at the UN, now make it real for Europe!

UN experts urge @coe.int Member States to negotiate an additional protocol to the European Convention to protect the right to a clean, healthy & sustainable environment. No more delays for a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll! www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel... @srenvironment.bsky.social @srtoxics.bsky.social

Thank you, Aurora Floridia, for your support for the legal protection of the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll at the @coe.int! @pace.coe.int members are once again showing leadership on this crucial issue. Ministers must do the same at their May meeting - time to act NOW & recognise the right!

The human right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment can be considered customary international law and, therefore, binding for States. My contribution to the CIJ conversation on State obligations regarding climate change. @iisd.bsky.social

🔥 Switzerland must step up its climate game 🔥 The Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers (CMDH) rejected Switzerland’s claim that it has already fulfilled the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) judgment in the case of the KlimaSeniorinnen.

Astrid Puentes Riaño has shared a great resource explaining why the right to a healthy environment should be binding under international law. We have also submitted an amicus curiae brief before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) advocating for this crucial recognition.

A healthy environment is a prerequisite for the realization of all #HumanRights. That is why it's critical that @coe.int Member States explicitly protect the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll within the European Convention of Human Rights. A mini 🧵👇

In 2024, the European Court of Human Rights found that Switzerland had failed to comply with its duties concerning climate change. Now🇨🇭must adjust its current climate targets based on science & finally #ActOnClimate. Yet, our joint submission tells a different story.
