WikiForHumanRights 2023 in South-West of Nigeria

The objective of the #WikiForHumanRights initiative is to ensure that impartial, evidence-based, and up-to-date information about our Right to a Healthy Environment is available to all. This right is not only recognized by the United Nations but also serves as a means of linking human rights with the threefold planetary crisis of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. The UN Environmental Program has emphasized the necessity of reconciling with nature and integrating human rights into the remedies.
