The Environmental Rights Caucus brings groups together to work towards the establishment of an Environmental Bill of Rights in New Brunswick. The caucus goals include:

• Pushing forward legislation around human rights to healthy environments,
• Encouraging public engagement,
• Bringing media and political attention to Environmental Rights.

In July 2019, the Environmental Rights Caucus met in person with various stakeholders to revise and update the 2016 New Brunswick Environmental Bill of Rights drafted by the East Coast Environmental Law for the New Brunswick Environmental Rights Working Group. From this meeting emerged the New Brunswick Environmental Bill of Rights: An Act to Protect the Right of New Brunswickers. You can read it here.
