Campaign overview

For nature. For people. Let’s demand that the UN make it a universal human right to live on a healthy planet.

It’s no secret: our natural world is in terrible shape. Our unsustainable system is causing climate chaos and putting over one million species at risk of extinction.

How can something as fundamental as life on Earth be treated with such neglect? We need to completely change the way we treat our home. We, as do all other living beings, deserve the right to a healthy natural world.

Join us in calling on the UN and its Member States to:

  1. Pass a resolution to reaffirm the recognition of the right to a healthy environment at the UN General Assembly;
  2. Incorporate the right in the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework;
  3. Recognise the right in national constitutions, in legislation and/or through ratification of relevant treaties, and ensure its implementation at national level.

Join us: sign the petition to make it a UN-recognised human right to live on a healthy planet. It may seem overwhelming, but it’s true: to emerge from these crises, to ensure our future and that of the planet, we need to entirely transform humanity’s relationship with nature. This human right helps make that happen.
