About — Right to Environment

The Right to Environment is a legal or constitutional guarantee that individuals have access to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment. It underpins public health, ecological balance, and intergenerational equity, compelling governments to protect natural resources. For example, India's Supreme Court recognized it in 1996, ordering the closure of polluting industries near the Ganga.
