Royal Parks Half Marathon · 14 October 2018

On Sunday 14 October 2018, 30 runners will represent Human Rights Watch in the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon to advocate for global recognition of the Right to a Healthy Environment.

Story

We are running the Royal Parks Half Marathon, for Human Rights Watch, because we are passionate about the future of our planet. Please help us make a difference by giving what you can, we cannot thank you enough ! Amit & Angela

As our generation faces serious environmental and social crises, the potential for the UN to formally recognise the right to a healthy environment for progressive development and accountability cannot be understated.  Its global recognition is long overdue.  Formal recognition would help protect those who increasingly risk their lives to defend the land, water, forests and wildlife that future generations will depend upon.  

WHY HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH NEEDS YOUR DONATION.  

In the coming year Human Rights Watch will undertake research and advocacy on pressing environmental issues, including food shortages facing indigenous communities that are disproportionately affected by climate change and an upsurge in threats and violence targeting environmental defenders.

Human Rights Watch brings renewed strengths and tools to the environmental cause.  Using human rights principles such as transparency, non-discrimination, and freedom of speech and association, we give voice to communities affected by environmental degradation and climate change, and advocate, in close collaboration with environmental groups, for respect for their rights.
