Art. 30 · Part 3
Right to Clean Environment
स्वच्छ वातावरणको हक
💡Highlight any phrase below and we'll explain what it means.
Original Text
Every citizen shall have the right to live in a healthy and clean environment. Citizens shall have the right to get compensation in case of damage caused from environmental pollution.
💡 Plain Language Explanation
A clean environment is a constitutional right - not just a policy preference. If environmental pollution harms you, you can demand compensation from polluters or the state. This right is increasingly important given climate change.
🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या
स्वच्छ वातावरणमा बाँच्न पाउने हक। वातावरणीय प्रदूषणबाट क्षति भएमा क्षतिपूर्ति माग्न सकिन्छ।
✅ Good Aspects
Constitutional environmental rights - basis for legal cases against polluters and deforestation.
⚠️ Concerns
Enforcement is weak; Kathmandu's severe air pollution violates this right for millions daily.
