The Right to a Healthy Environment: Analyzing Legal Frameworks and Implementation Challenges

Abstract

This comprehensive research endeavors to dissect the intricate relationship between human rights and
environmental well-being, with a primary focus on "The Right to a Healthy Environment." By
conducting a meticulous analysis of diverse legal frameworks, ranging from international conventions
to domestic regulations, the study aims to elucidate the evolving landscape of rights associated with a
healthy environment. It scrutinizes the rights conferred upon individuals to live in an environment
conducive to well-being and the corresponding duties imposed on states and entities to ensure
environmental sustainability. The research extends beyond a mere exploration of legal provisions and
delves into the complex terrain of implementation challenges. Unraveling the practical intricacies of
enforcing these rights, the study addresses issues such as the effective enforcement mechanisms,
institutional capacities, and the often-intricate balance required when reconciling environmental
concerns with economic and developmental imperatives. By shedding light on both the theoretical
foundations and the real-world challenges, this study aims to inform policy discussions and advocacy
efforts aimed at fostering a more sustainable and rights-centric approach to environmental governance.
