The human right to a clean and healthy environment: 6
things you need to know. On 8 October,
loud and unusual applause reverberated around the chamber of the UN Human
Rights Council in Geneva. A battle fought for decades by environmental
activists and rights’ defenders, had finally borne fruit. For the first time ever, the United Nations
body whose mission is to promote and protect human rights around the world, passed
a resolution recognising access to a healthy and sustainable environment as a
universal right.

Torrential hurricanes, devastating droughts,
crippling ice storms, and raging heat waves—all are extreme weather phenomena
that can claim lives and cause untold damage. Climate change influences severe
weather by causing longer droughts and higher temperatures in some regions and
more intense deluges in others, say climate experts. Among the most vulnerable
are communities in exposed mountain and coastal regions. In those settings
worldwide, citizens are adjusting to new weather realities by strengthening
warning, shelter, and protection systems.
