Environmental defenders take brave action to protect the planet and their communities but are often met with violence or persecution. We must stand up to private actors and governments placing profits over people, and help keep environmental defenders safe.

In 2018, my predecessor John Knox and I co-authored a report calling on the UN to recognize the right to a healthy environment. The Human Rights Council Resolution 48/13 last year was a key step. Now it is time for the General Assembly to adopt a similar resolution on this right!
