The president of GO GREEN had a round-table meeting in Spain with other social workers of France and Italy for the realization of common projects and initiatives in the field of green human rights. The idea to work on green human rights moves from the fact that human rights and the environment have an impact on each other. Human rights are intertwined with the environment in which we live (..)Environmental harm interferes with the enjoyment of human rights, and the exercise of human rights helps to protect the environment and to promote sustainable development (UN Framework Principles on Human rights and the Environment, 2018). This means that human rights can be used to protect the environment, since environmental harm can negatively impact human rights. Following, in GO GREEN together with our partners we have detected the need to develop and build upon competences of social workers that will learn how to apply a human rights-based approach for the protection of the environment.
