Council of Europe assembly calls for 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 binding treaty recognising the right to a healthy environment. The assembly argues that Europe needs a legal instrument to guarantee environmental protection as a fundamental right, adding to growing international momentum behind environmental rights, including the UN General Assembly's recognition of the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment.

Why now: Debate over enshrining environmental protection as a legally binding human right in Europe is gaining momentum.
