Summary: The 2022 Declaration must integrate concerns related to inequality between people and between states. Enduring inequalities between states call for strengthening differential treatment and in consonance with present-day realities. Fast increasing inequalities between people call for making this a core subject of interest of international environmental law. Rights must be at the center of this new focus and include not just the long-debated human right to the environment but also nature rights.
