"Aruba’s government is moving to enshrine twin environmental rights in its
constitution that would recognize that nature has inherent rights and also
affirm a human right to a “clean, healthy and sustainable environment,”
aligning the country’s government with a growing environmental movement that
recognizes humans are interdependent with the natural world.
Ursell Arends, Aruba’s minister of nature, unveiled a proposed constitutional
amendment earlier this month to recognize both that human right and that
nature, on land and water, has rights to “protection, conservation and
restoration of its ecosystems and biodiversity and to regeneration of its life
cycles.”
According to the draft bill, the government would be required to “take
preventive measures to protect against the negative consequences of climate
change.”"
