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!

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!

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.

🔥 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.

According to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), a norm is a customary rule when it is “a practice generally accepted as law.”

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.

Human rights & the environment are on the agenda of @coe.int this week.
As explained by @isabellakaminski.bsky.social, political leaders are under growing pressure to recognize the
right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll in law across Europe.

Why momentum is building to recognise the right to a healthy environment
Political leaders are under growing pressure to recognise the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment in law across Europe. But the process is far from straightforward.

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.
