Following major global milestones achieved on the right to #HealthyEnvironment, Benjamin Schachter of OHCHR reiterates the importance of being "fully focused" on implementation because the #TriplePlanetaryCrisis is in full force.
Sarah Rattray of @undp.org highlights the consultative process behind the development of the Toolkit. With more than 30 NHRIs consulted, she underscores how the toolkit is aimed towards the implementation of the right to #HealthyEnvironment and the sharing of experiences among NHRIs.
Welcoming all, @ganhri.bsky.social Chairperson Amina Bouayach that the Toolkit being presented today aims to help NHRIs towards national implementation of right to #HealthyEnvironment, reaffirming their growing role in bridging the gap between env't protection and human rights obligation.
Highlighting clear obligations to ensure human rights, including to #WaterSanitation & to #HealthyEnvironment, Therese Arnesen of UN Human Rights underscores the importance of ensuring a human rights-based approach in #WaterGovernance to adequately address #WaterBankruptcy.
Imidacloprid is effective—but its widespread use raises important questions about environmental sustainability and pollinator health.

Ghazali Ohorella of the International Indian Treaty Council stresses that environmental violence against Indigenous peoples persists while states delay action. The right to a #HealthyEnvironment must be treated as a legal obligation, not diluted into aspirational language.
In the face of #TriplePlanetaryCrisis, UN @srenvironment.bsky.social Astrid Puentes underscores:
🔸 #IndigenousPeoples should not just be seen as victims but actors of change
🔸 remedies are necessary & prevention is key
🔸 the need for recognition of right to #HealthyEnvironment
#Live now!
Join this #HRC61 side event taking place as part of #GRET2026 & paying tribute to the ongoing contributions of Banjima People & #IndigenousPeoples broadly to ensuring the right to #HealthyEnvironment.

UN @srenvironment.bsky.social Astrid Puentes warns that air pollution is increasing inequality and is transboundary. With strong science already available & clear obligations under the #ICJAO, misinformation & economic interests must no longer delay action to protect right to #HealthyEnvironment.
Blair Matheson of @franciscansintl.bsky.social delivers a statement underscoring the organization's consistent work to promote the right to #HealthyEnvironment, including within the UPR process. He stresses the need to boost action as, despite efforts, key pollutants level remain high.
The GEN is at #HRC61 for the continuation of the interactive dialogue with the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to #HealthyEnvironment, Astrid Puentes Riaño for her report tackling #CleanAir & human rights.
