About Us

What is the Global Pact?


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.
