United Nations’ “User’s guide to the Right to a Healthy Environment”

The human right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment is now recognized in resolutions adopted by the UN General Assembly and the Human Rights Council. This guide by UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and the Environment David R. Boyd covers ways to utilize this powerful lever for change, state obligations to fulfill the right, and how individuals (you!) can accelerate change.
