Benjamin Schachter of UN Human Rights urges to rethink human beings' relationship with nature & build an all-of-society movement — ending fossil fuel subsidies, ensuring accountability & protecting #R2E.
Aileen Lucero of Ecowaste Coalition & @toxicsfree.bsky.social stresses the importance of the #BaselConvention in promoting national self-sufficiency in waste management and upholding the #R2E, including through the effective implementation of the Basel Ban & Plastic Amendments.

How does the GEN help in promoting the #RightToHealthyEnvironment?
🤝 Listen to UN @srenvironment.bsky.social Astrid Puentes highlighting collaboration with the GEN towards effective implementation of #R2E.

UN @srenvironment.bsky.social Astrid Puentes emphasizes #RightToHealthyEnvironment's binding nature is not a conversation: we need decisions & actions on the ground. #R2E is a tool to help countries guarantee all human rights.
She hopes the Court takes into account all developments on R2E.
"Communities on the ground should not be litigating for two decades."
In closing, @srenvironment.bsky.social highlighted that litigation is communities' last resort, but take a long time for justice to be mete out. In the face of #TriplePlanetaryCrisis, implementing #R2E is what is urgent.
Highlighting missed opportunities & future possibilities to include #R2E in various negotiations, from ASEAN Declaration on Environmental Rights to the upcoming UN Treaty on #BizHR negotiations, Francesca Mingrone makes a request to also make references to #fossilfuel explicit. @cielorg.bsky.social
"The judgement is not the end in itself, but the beginning of the process."
Ioulietta Bisiouli of EINetwork argues that #R2E anchored in a treaty may be "potentially placing the carriage before the horse if we... don't try with the same rigor to secure what is already there."
Ioulietta Bisiouli of European Implementation Network shares that with 44% of judgements remain unimplemented at ECtHR in the past decade, the highly technical nature and difficulty of setting thresholds for the landmark KlimaSeniorinnen case are both a strength and handicap to push for #R2E.
"Why do we need to put #R2E in a different standard than other human rights?"
Roberto Céspedes of #CostaRica argues that debating whether #RightToHealthyEnvironment is legally binding is a moot conversation, as 85% of States already have this obligation in Constitutions.
"While not legally binding, the #RightToHealthyEnvironment is far from symbolic but represents collective will of international community."
Baïna Ubushieva of Geneva Academy highlighted that though #R2E is not new, the UNGA resolution has accelerated its implementation.
"R2E is an element of inspiration to continue on advocating why this is important."
Highlighting need for States to advance #RightToHealthyEnvironment, @srenvironment.bsky.social shares growing difficulty to ensure #R2E & rights-based language to be included in environmental negotiations.
