| Title | The Writ of Kalikasan in trengthening Sustainable Development and Environmental Rights |
| Summary | The unprecedented environmental degradation brought by urbanization and climate-change affects the quality of environment humans live in but at the same time, raise a collective awareness in the internationally for its protection amidst development. In the past few decades, the constitutional enshrinement of environmental rights has grown across domestic States. But in order for the people to assert it, supporting statutory laws must be present. In the case of environmental harm, remedies for environmental protection has long existed but its timeliness in delivery remains in question. The research aimed to look at one domestic environmental remedy elevated to the status of a Writ – the Writ of Kalikasan if it is successful in upholding the principles of sustainable development and environmental right. Context analysis was employed in two cases filed for the petition. The results affirm that the courts are strengthening both narratives in their rulings but since the data sample is limited, more research has to be done. |
