2022 RBHR Forum: Asia’s Environmental Priorities and the Business and Human Rights Agenda

In October of 2021, the Human Rights Council recognised a clean, healthy and sustainable environment as a human right. What might the creation of this right mean for Asia, especially where environmental safeguards are already written into national constitutions? What application do voluntary principles play in promoting better environmental stewardship by business, when inflation is spiking and supply chain disruptions are closing factories? What are the key policy approaches governments should take, fully aware of the trade offs of action versus inaction? The key objectives of this session are to: Outline the key obstacles holding back progress to combat air pollution, water pollution and climate change and priority solutions that should be undertaken by business and government Detail the place of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in providing answers or pathways for action Explain how the recognition of the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment might serve as a lever of change towards more responsible environmental stewardship Summarize any tradeoffs that might be borne by societies and economies from either radical or incremental action
