#HealthyEnvironmentForAll
π’ BREAKING!
In a historic decision, the @UN General Assembly just adopted the resolution to universally recognize the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll!
This signals what we hope will be the beginning of a new era in rights-based environmental policy.

Watching @UN TV with all of my colleagues @lienvandamme@Hannah_Blitzer@lanifurbank. It's good to be in the company of such amazing advocates as we wait for the historic vote to recognize the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment.
#HealthyEnvironmentForAll
Tomorrow, UNGA Member States will vote on a resolution recognizing the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll!
States MUST support this resolution! Once adopted it will catalyze further environmental and climate action, and strengthen environmental protection.
