Mary Robinson's fight for human rights and the climate is known around the world. As a former president of Ireland, she used her position to advocate for the most vulnerable, and as a human rights and climate activist, she has focused on advocating for climate justice and sustainability. In a recent interview, she highlighted the importance of combining efforts to mitigate climate change and promote social justice.
For Robinson, sustainability must be seen as a human right, and sustainable development must take into account the needs of all people, regardless of their location or socioeconomic situation. She stated: “We need a green, fair and inclusive economy that allows people to live with dignity. We need a world where social justice and sustainability go hand in hand.”
Robinson also highlighted the importance of everyone's participation in the fight for sustainability. She highlighted the need to involve young people, local communities, indigenous peoples and other interested parties in creating sustainable solutions and adopting more environmentally responsible practices.
Robinson's message is clear: sustainability is a human right and everyone has a role to play in building a more sustainable and fair future. With the growing urgency of the climate crisis, it is vital that everyone works together to achieve this goal.
