The @coe.int's Member States must start negotiating a binding legal instrument on the right to a healthy environment as soon as possible!
Our hope is to celebrate next year’s #WorldEnvironmentDay in a negotiation room. Will States be able to make that happen?
#SB64: As the UN mid-year climate talks open, pressure is mounting for negotiations to deliver policies rooted in human rights and social justice.

We are grateful to @commissionerhr.coe.int & @pace.coe.int for prioritising the protection of the right to a healthy environment in their work.
