Environmental rights are human rights

Are environmental issues part of human rights?

We all have a right to a fulfilling and healthy life, and that arguably depends on the well-being of the planet. Low air pollution, clean water, safe food. These all depend on the environment and how we treat it. So does the UK have any human rights laws tied to environmental protection?

EachOther is a UK-focused charity that uses independent journalism, story-telling and film-making to put the human into human rights. The digital content we produce is grounded in the lived experience of ordinary people affected by human rights issues. We involve them in the process of developing their stories, rather than talking for or over them. Theirs are the voices we platform and amplify to our lay audience of over a million viewers each year. In this way, we hope to grow public support for human rights here in the UK.
