    Course Syllabus

    Learning Climate change, biodiversity loss, and air and water pollution are among the
    global environmental problems that affect everyone’s health and wellbeing
    Objectives and threaten development. Good governance is essential to effectively
    respond to these challenges. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16
    promotes needful actions in this area and is instrumental for achieving all
    other SDGs.

    This course explores the environmental dimension of SDG 16, honing in on


    the targets and indicators linked to access rights, These access rights –
    access to information, public participation, and access to justice, supported
    by safeguards for environmental defenders – are essential elements of
    environmental stewardship and decision-making, and provide invaluable
    tools to contribute to the achievement of SDG 16.

    After introducing access rights, this course will look in greater depth at three
    Multilateral Environmental Agreements stemming from Rio Principle 10 –
    the Aarhus Convention and its Protocol on Pollutant Release and Transfer
    Registers, and the Escazú Agreement – that further develop these rights to
    empower societies to address existential challenges and protect our planet.

    Finally, this course will survey a variety of other environment-related and


    human rights treaties and international instruments, exploring how they
    interconnect and contribute within their respective substantive focuses to
    the goal of good governance, leaving no one behind and, ultimately,
    sustainable development.
