Summary/Abstract: In October last year, the Human Rights Council (HRC) recognised the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment as a human right. There has been no similar progress in other UN bodies. A Security Council (UNSC) resolution on the climate crisis failed two months later on a Russian veto. The next big test for the international community is this year’s planned adoption of the Global Pact for the Environment.
