ClearThe Right to a Clean, Healthy and Sustainable Environment and the Triple Planetary Crisis: Reflections for Ocean Governance

Researchers found in a cross-sectional study in Brunei Darussalam that perceived environmental quality is associated with self-rated health, but that regular physical exercise may partially offset the negative health effects of poor environmental conditions.
Planetary Boundaries Nurturing the Grand Narrative of the Right to a Healthy Environment?
This paper argues that the planetary boundaries framework, which defines safe operating limits for Earth systems, can strengthen the legal case for the human right to a healthy environment recognized by the United Nations in 2022. Researchers discuss how breaching planetary boundaries, including those related to novel pollutants like microplastics, directly undermines fundamental rights to clean water, food, and health. The study calls on governments to use this science-based framework to guide stronger environmental and human rights protections.
Good Environment as Part of Human Right: A Case Study on Plastic Waste Post Pandemic
This legal analysis examined how the right to a clean environment intersects with plastic waste management in the context of increased plastic use during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors argued that rising plastic pollution from pandemic-era disposables infringes on human rights to a healthy environment and called for stronger regulatory frameworks.
