Join the Global Pact Coalition and support
the adoption of an ambitious treaty
on the environment at the UN.
The Global Pact for the Environment is a draft international treaty, which aims to recognize a new generation of fundamental rights and duties related to the protection of the environment, and in particular, the right to a healthy environment. While many States support its adoption, a few States are strongly opposed to it. This is why civil society must come together to ask States to recognize our environmental rights and protect the environment. To this end, we launched a large coalition bringing together NGOs, activists, artists, citizens, lawyers and scientists: the Global Pact Coalition.
Over the year of 2022, the Global Pact Coalition (GPC) took part in a number of events and negotiations in the field of international environmental law. Major changes and evolvements in the structure and networks of the organization also took place in 2022.
In September 2021, the Government of Vanuatu announced its intention to seek an Advisory Opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the obligations of States under international law to protect the environment for future generations.
The Global Pact Coalition is thrilled to announce its new partnership with the Environmental Defenders Office (Australia)
On Thursday July 28, the United Nations General Assembly recognized the right to live in a clean, healthy and sustainable environment as a human right for ALL.
"This is not the right versus the left because there is no liberal air or conservative air. We all breathe the same air. There is no liberal water or conservative water, we all drink the same water."
"The Pact is supported by scientists, professors, students, celebrities, artists and many climate advocates who all believe that the time to act for our planet has come."
"A pact that can become the foundation of a new social contract for humanity."
"A Pact that recognizes the right of everybody to a healthy environment, that recognizes the duty of States and citizens everywhere to take care of the environment.”
"This pact is a paradigm shift: it allows us to do at the level of the environment what has been done for human rights.”
"Never was the time more opportune to support a Global Pact for the Environment”
