environmental rights
Friends of the Earth groups around the world are campaigning for people’s environmental rights, which include access to the unspoiled natural resources that enable survival such as land, shelter, food, water and air.

In our vision, environmental rights also
include rights for indigenous peoples and
other collectivities, the right to
information and participation in
decision-making, freedom of opinion and
expression, and the right to resist unwanted
developments.
We also believe in the right to claim
reparations for violated rights, including
rights for climate refugees and others
displaced due to environmental destruction,
the right to claim ecological debt, and the
right to environmental justice.
