The ASEAN Declaration On The Right To A Safe, Clean, (Healthy) and Sustainable Environment

The ASEAN Declaration On The Right To A Safe, Clean, (Healthy), Sustainable Environment aims to provide an unprecedented regional framework, to push for the implementation of international environmental rights standards. These include the 2022 U.N. General Assembly Resolution of access to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment as a universal human right. This would be the region’s first-ever policy instrument on environmental rights, and once adopted, the Declaration will guide ASEAN member states in strengthening action and accountability related to environmental rights. We find out more about this groundbreaking initiative from Max Han, the co-founder of Youths United For Earth (YUFE), and a representative at the meetings from the ASEAN Youth Forum, and also Roger Joseph (Rocky) Guzman, an Environmental lawyer and the Deputy Director of the Asian Research Institute for Environmental Law.
