dc.descriptionThe Right to a Healthy Environment in Practice: A Decade Before the Courts (2015-2025) Report identifies and examines trends and developments in the interpretation of the Right to Healthy Environment (R2HE) over the course of a decade (2014 –2025). Drawing on an analysis of more than 100 case laws across 30 jurisdictions, the Report identifies four key trends that have emerged in the recognition and enforcement of the R2HE. The Report also highlights three additional 'signals of change' that could potentially gain legal relevance and visibility in the years ahead. Accompanied by the R2HE Toolkit, the Report highlights how the R2HE is and will continue to remain a significant legal instrument for addressing the three planetary environmental crises of climate change, nature, land and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste.en
