Conceptualizations of “Rights of Nature” and “Right to a Healthy Environment” in the literature: a protocol for qualitative synthesis

By critically exploring variations and commonalities among these definitions and conceptualizations, this protocol provides valuable insights for research and policymakers in designing and implementing effective rights-based approaches. This includes providing grounds to understand when the application of rights approaches is pursuing (or not) the same or similar goals (e.g. improved quality of life and environment).The methodological plan for this review that includes details about the review questions, scope and method for searching, screening, coding and synthesis is available in the PROCEED (an open access registry of titles and protocols for prospective evidence syntheses in the environmental sector). The protocol can be accessed here.
