 * UK Bill of Rights must include right to a healthy environment, January 19 The Joint Committee on Human Rights published a report in August 2008 which called for the right to a healthy and sustainable environment to be part of a new UK Bill of Rights. The Government response to this report is available via www.parliament.uk. Friends of the Earth believes that everyone has the right to live in a healthy environment, and is campaigning for a new, strong environmental right in the UK that will enable ordinary people to hold decision makers to account for actions which harm the environment on which we all depend. The Ministry of Justice is shortly expected to publish a Green Paper on the Bill of Rights.
