Earthjustice delivered a joint statement on behalf of nine non-governmental organisations, including GI-ESCR, on 2 March 2020. The statement welcomes the Special Rapporteur’s report identifying governmental good practices in “recognising and implementing a right to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment.”

The statement also calls on the Human Rights Council (HRC) to “promptly adopt a resolution recognising the right to a healthy environment.”
