The right to a healthy environment at the global level 15 VII. Conclusions and recommendations 17 Annexes I. (...) The United Nations Environment Programme was also praised for its recent Environmental Rights Initiative, which is helping to develop a broader understanding of the relationship between environmental protection and human rights.
