Parliamentary Assembly urges European treaty on healthy environment

Original: Parliamentary Assembly: Europe needs treaty on right to a healthy environment

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has called for a new treaty recognising the right to a healthy environment, arguing that existing human rights frameworks do not adequately protect Europeans from environmental harm such as pollution and climate change. Supporters say a binding instrument would give citizens legal grounds to challenge environmental damage and oblige governments to strengthen protections.

Why now: The Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly has just issued a high-profile call for a new environmental rights treaty.
