New Brunswickers recognize that global environmental changes have triggered unprecedented events such as our recent catastrophic floods, droughts, and severe weather events.

That is why an Act addressing the human right to a healthy environment is being proposed for the Province of New Brunswick:  The NB Environmental Bill of Rights: An Act to Protect Children, all New Brunswickers and Nature.  Our “made in New Brunswick” child-focused Bill of Environmental Rights will recognize that children, and therefore all our people and future generations have the right to a healthy environment. An Act such as this has the potential to become, in the words of David R. Boyd, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and the Environment, “a powerful catalyst for accelerating progress toward a sustainable future.”

The Environmental Bill of Rights: An Act to Protect Children, All New Brunswickers and Nature is an ongoing initiative of the New Brunswick Environmental Rights Caucus.
