Abstract

Since its initial articulation in the early 1970s, the sphere of legislative and judicial practices regarding the right to a healthy environment (R2HE) has evolved substantially. This report identifies and examines trends and developments in the interpretation of the R2HE over a decade (2015-2025) through an analysis of the advancement of the right in thirty jurisdictions, including international and regional human rights bodies.
