On the sidelines of the 58th session of the Human Rights Council, the Geneva Rights and Environment Talks aimed to harness the opportunity of this moment of the year to reflect on the challenges posed by the rapid decline of nature and biodiversity, and on how Geneva contributes to bringing together the actors working towards ensuring the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment is upheld for all.
The event is also part of the Geneva Dialogues on Mineral and Metal Resources, a series of events to explore interlinkages between the various multilateral debates and negotiations addressing sustainable mineral and metal resources governance in Geneva and beyond.
Leading experts joining the panel of this event will stress the risks of deep-sea mining and the violations of fundamental rights it can imply and highlight the effective protection instruments addressing the threats.
