Governance, human rights and equity

Sustainable environmental governance constitutes one of the most important pillars for the full and effective implementation of international and national environmental laws. It requires the setting up of institutions from the local to the international level that can deliver effective, fair and equitable environmental management.

Sustainable environmental governance is intrinsically related to the fulfilment of human rights, in particular with regard to the links between environmental management and the realisation of specific human rights. Further, it is directly related to issues of equity, for instance concerning the situation of women in environmental management (gender concerns) or the relations between states in international law (differential treatment).

The following publications examine a number of inter-related issues. These include:

  • environmental governance from the local level to the international level,

  • differential treatment (equity) in international law,

  • human rights and the environment and environmental justice,

  • procedural rights, including issues surrounding environmental and strategic impact assessment, and

  • gender issues in environmental management.
