Environmental Quality is a Prerequisite for Health
To Choose Or To Lose, the first National Environmental Policy Plan, states on page 39, "Sustainable social and economic development requires good environmental quality as a prerequisite for the health and well-being of humans, animals, and plants. The government's responsibility for good environmental quality is set out in the Constitution of the Netherlands." The Netherlands Constitution, Article 21 states, "The government's concern is directed to the livability of the nation and the protection and improvement of the environment." Fundamental health rights are also stated in the Brundtland report, page 348, annex 1, "All human beings have the fundamental right to an environment adequate for their health and well-being."
