Campaign for the Right to a Clean, Healthy, and Sustainable Environment at the Council of Europe

The Campaign for the Right to a Healthy Environment at the Council of Europe brings together civil society organizations and Indigenous Peoples organizations from across Europe.

We stand for the recognition of the right to a healthy environment in the European human rights framework, to make sure that Europe no longer lags behind in the fight for environmental protection.

Join your voice to ours and call on the Member States of the Council of Europe to protect the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment through an additional protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights. 

We respectfully ask you to endorse this letter and to share this call as widely as possible. The time for Europe to protect this right is NOW to send a strong signal to national and international communities, affirming Europe’s commitment to tackling the environmental crisis and providing its citizens with an enforceable right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment. 

We respectfully encourage your organization to support this call by endorsing the letter, through the following form.
