Also in attendance, Italian MP Aurora Floridia reminded us: “The protection of our environment is not only a scientific or political issue, but a deeply human one.”

The triple planetary crisis is sparing no place, no community. It demands urgent, united action.

“The climate crisis is not just an environmental emergency. It is also a democratic test. When science is ignored, people suffer.”

We couldn't agree more with @pace.coe.int President Theodoros Roussopoulos!

Legally protecting the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll means saving lives—and strengthening the rights of people with disabilities.

@greenrightsco.bsky.social's @andreadpaulus.bsky.social
urges @coe.int to start work on a protocol to the ECHR to make a difference.

“Where there is a right, there is a remedy,” says @ciel.org's @camillapollera.bsky.social on #WorldEnvironmentDay

We need an additional protocol to the ECHR to legally protect our right to a healthy environment and provide these safeguards.

@coe.int Ministers, act now!

“No peace is possible without environmental justice,” says Pax Christi's Martha Inés Romero.

That's why Belgium & all @coe.int member states must support a new protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights to protect the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll!

@delphinedelieux.bsky.social

Every day in Scotland & Europe, the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll is violated—especially for communities in situations of marginalisation.
@ercscot.bsky.social urges @coe.int States to urgently begin the legal protection of the right as a cornerstone of equality & non-discrimination!

No one should have to fight for clean air, safe water & a healthy planet!

We fully agree with Aurora Floridia, Senator and member of @pace.coe.int.

It’s time @coe.int Ministers commit to making a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll an enforceable right through a binding instrument!

In East Serbia, communities like Bor face water pollution and barren landscapes while mining profits take priority.

The @coe.int must legally protect the right to a healthy environment to guarantee the rights of people like student Dejan!

Katarina & her unborn child face a bleak future due to pollution & vibrations from the Veliki Krivelj copper mine in Serbia.

The @coe.int must act now to protect the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll through a binding legal instrument - communities deserve action!

States must act now in a global environmental crisis.

Former UN Rapporteur @drdavidboyd.bsky.social urges @coe.int Ministers meeting in Luxembourg to start negotiating a binding instrument on the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll.

You've backed it at the UN, now make it real for Europe!

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!

The climate, pollution & biodiversity crisis is harming our health, says Denis Fernando of @friends-earth.bsky.social

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!
