A/HRC/43/53 115. The Special Rapporteur hopes that these concrete examples of good practices will inspire States to accelerate their efforts to recognize, respect, protect and fulfil the right to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment. The adoption of a resolution recognizing the right to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment would be a positive catalyst to accelerate efforts to ensure the enjoyment of this right. Indeed, this was precisely the effect witnessed in many States following the adoption by the General Assembly of its resolution 64/292 and by the Human Rights Council of its resolution 15/9 on the rights to water and sanitation in 2010. A rights-based approach is not only helpful but even essential to stimulating the many urgent actions needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals as outlined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. 116. Ultimately, however, it must be emphasized that humanity faces a daunting and unprecedented global environmental crisis of its own making. Despite the many good practices, they are not nearly enough. There is much, much more work to be done to transform today’s unjust and unsustainable society into an ecological civilization where human rights are universally respected, protected and fulfilled. 19
