For decades, the European Court of Human Rights has helped protect people from pollution, environmental degradation and climate harms. Yet, environmental protection under the Convention remains indirect and incomplete. 1/5

Environmental degradation can no longer be a distant concern for the @coe.int. 🚨 As this summer’s events prove, its consequences are being felt directly in everyday lives, undermining the rights of 700 million people living in the Council’s member states. 1/4

🔥 As fires ravage Europe, the rights of communities on the frontline of environmental & climate breakdown continue to be affected on an unprecedented scale. 🗣 As the @coe.int s Secretary-General @alain-berset.coe.int rightly puts it, the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll must become a reality.
