The Impact

The close relationship between industrial development and environmental pollution is considered the main problem of negative climate changes and the deterioration of life quality leading to an increase in mortality. In this regard, the protection of environmental human rights is of great importance. The paper aims to assess the trends of industrial influence on the human environment and the level of protection of environmental human rights in different countries through reviewing and analysis of the set of relevant studies. The paper brings novelty exploring an array of objectives for protecting human environmental rights in the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals, implementation of a circular and resource-efficient economy, together with the Industry 4.0 technologies for industrialized countries, including Ukraine. Most studies consider contradictions between the economic and environmental goals of both businesses and the state the main obstacle for the ecologization of industrial production. The economic feasibility of introducing more resource-efficient business models has been proved. The impact of Ukrainian industrial companies on the environment and the state of human environmental rights protection is studied. The results of the study allow stating that the resource and energy inefficiency of industrial technology in the country, as well as the weakness of state institutions in the implementation of reforms for sustainable development, is a fundamental threat to human rights and a healthy life.

Environmental Democracy

The global trend toward adopting environmental rights within national constitutions has been largely regarded as a positive development for both human rights and the natural environment. The impact of constitutional environmental rights, however, has yet to be systematically assessed using empirical data. In particular, expanding procedural environmental rights—legal provisions relating to access to information, participation, and justice in environmental matters—provides fertile ground for analyzing how environmental rights directly interface with conditions necessary for a functioning democracy. To understand the extent to which these provisions deliver on their lofty aspirations, we conducted a quantitative analysis to assess the relationship between procedural environmental rights and environmental justice, while also controlling for the extent of democracy within a country. The results suggest that states with procedural environmental rights are more likely than nonadopting states to facilitate attaining environmental justice, especially as it relates to access to information.

Los derechos de acceso a la información, participación pública y acceso a la justicia han avanzado con la aplicación del Convenio de Aarhus de 1998 y de las Directivas comunitarias de 2003 por la Ley estatal 27/2006, que ha afectado a su pionera regulación por la Ley vasca 3/1998, General de protección del medio ambiente. Aquí se estudia el régimen jurídico de los derechos ambientales de la ciudadanía en la Comunidad Autónoma Vasca, mostrando los cambios derivados de la nueva normativa y su incidencia en la legislación autonómica, así como su aplicación práctica y los retos pendientes para su cumplimiento real y efectivo. Informazioa eskuratzeko, bizitza publikoan parte hartzeko eta justizia eskuratzeko eskubideek aurrera egin dute 1998ko Aarhus Ituna eta, Estatuaren 27/2006 Legearen bidez, 2003ko Erkidegoko Direktibak aplikatzearen ondorioz, eragina izan baitu Ingurumena Babesteko EAEko 3/1998 Lege Orokor aitzindarian.

The rights of access to information, public participation in decisionmaking and access to justice in environmental matters have improved by the Act 2006/27 approved in application of Aarhus Convention on 1998 and European Directives on 2003, affecting the pioneering regulation in Basque Act 1998/3. This paper studies the system of environmental rights in the Basque Country, showing the changes prompted by the new regulation, the impact in regional legislation and the measures envisaged to implementation. At the end, public authorities must continue working to real and effective fulfilment of environmental rights.

Industry Experience

This study evaluates the impact of New Jersey's 1977 law controlling the casino industry and its unions. Based on interviews with casino managers, union representatives, state regulatory agency officials, and attorneys, the authors conclude that the Casino Control Commission has kept casino ownership and management free from organized crime, but only by means of stringent, unpopular regulations, such as licensing requirements that can delay the hiring of casino dealers for months. The Commission has been less successful in policing unions, partly, the authors argue, because of federal laws protecting unions. For example, union officials who are removed from office because of alleged associations with crime organizations can be (and have been) rehired by the union as consultants.

Hak atas lingkungan yang baik dan sehat dijamin oleh Pancasila dan UUD 1945 yang berimplikasi terhadap perlunya kebijakan, rencana dan/atau program mengenai hak atas lingkungan tersebut diatur dalam perundang-undangan, baik di tingkat nasional maupun daerah. Dalam konteks otonomi daerah hak atas lingkungan tersebut termasuk dalam kelompok bidang urusan wajib pemerintahan. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak pengaturan hak atas lingkungan hidup dalam bidang sumber daya air. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dampak pengaturan hak atas lingkungan hidup dalam sistem hukum pengelolaan sumber daya air  sungai tidak terintegrasi dengan daerah lain, sehingga  kebijakan pemerintah daerah lebih ditujukan untuk peningkatan pendapatan daerah masing-masing. Kondisi ini mengakibatkan  terjadinya perusakan sumber daya air sungai di bagian hulu dan hilir dan tidak optimalnya pemanfaatan air sungai. Berdasarkan hal tersebut dibutuhkan sistem hukum pengelolaan sumber daya air dengan pendekatan ekoregion, dimana batas darat dan perairan tidak ditentukan oleh batas secara politik, akan tetapi oleh batas geografis dari komunitas manusia dan sistem lingkungan.<br /><br /><br /><em>The right to a good and healthy environment is guaranteed by Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution which has implications on the need for policies, plans and / or programs on environmental rights are set out in legislation, both at national and local levels.

This paper aims to analyze the impact of regulation on environmental rights in the field of water resources. The results of this study indicate that the impact of regulation on environmental rights in the legal system of management of water resources of the river is not integrated with other areas, so that local policy is intended to increase local revenues respectively. These conditions resulted in the destruction of the water resources of the river upstream and downstream and is not optimal utilization of river water. Under the terms of the legal system needs water resources management with ecoregion approach, where land and water boundaries are not defined by political boundaries, but by the geographical boundaries of the human community and environmental systems.</em><br /><br />

Abstract The aim of this study is to discuss the contradictions of the Olympic Games legacy for health and environment in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Public policies for sports mega-events have been criticized for contributing to and deepening the city’s historical socio-spatial inequalities. Based on document research and data analysis, the article focused on establishing a proposal for a sustainable city, as provided in Law 10,257/2001, the so-called City’s Statute. The article concludes with remarks on Olympic urban planning, its market orientation, and failures to overcome public health and environmental sanitation problems that will persist as a legacy after 2016.
