The UN General Assembly is due to vote in a few days’ time on a resolution that recognises a universal Human Right to a Healthy Environment.

The draft text is based on the landmark resolution adopted last year by the Human Rights Council and calls upon States and international organizations to adopt policies that scale up efforts to ensure a clean, healthy and sustainable environment for all.

Laura Quinones spoke to UN Special Rapporteur, David Boyd, about why it’s important for nations to recognise this right and what is at stake for humanity.

She began by asking what impact last year’s Human Rights Council adoption has had so far.
