📢 BREAKING!
In a historic decision, the @UN General Assembly just adopted the resolution to universally recognize the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll!

Watching @UN TV with all of my colleagues @lienvandamme @Hannah_Blitzer @lanifurbank. It's good to be in the company of such amazing advocates as we wait for the historic vote to recognize the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment.

Tomorrow, UNGA Member States will vote on a resolution recognizing the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll!
States MUST support this resolution! Once adopted it will catalyze further environmental and climate action, and strengthen environmental protection.
