Ghazali Ohorella of the International Indian Treaty Council stresses that environmental violence against Indigenous peoples persists while states delay action. The right to a #HealthyEnvironment must be treated as a legal obligation, not diluted into aspirational language.
In the face of #TriplePlanetaryCrisis, UN @srenvironment.bsky.social Astrid Puentes underscores:
🔸 #IndigenousPeoples should not just be seen as victims but actors of change
🔸 remedies are necessary & prevention is key
🔸 the need for recognition of right to #HealthyEnvironment
#Live now!
Join this #HRC61 side event taking place as part of #GRET2026 & paying tribute to the ongoing contributions of Banjima People & #IndigenousPeoples broadly to ensuring the right to #HealthyEnvironment.

UN @srenvironment.bsky.social Astrid Puentes warns that air pollution is increasing inequality and is transboundary. With strong science already available & clear obligations under the #ICJAO, misinformation & economic interests must no longer delay action to protect right to #HealthyEnvironment.
Blair Matheson of @franciscansintl.bsky.social delivers a statement underscoring the organization's consistent work to promote the right to #HealthyEnvironment, including within the UPR process. He stresses the need to boost action as, despite efforts, key pollutants level remain high.
The GEN is at #HRC61 for the continuation of the interactive dialogue with the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to #HealthyEnvironment, Astrid Puentes Riaño for her report tackling #CleanAir & human rights.
