Abstract
Human rights and environmental challenges frequently coexist and are closely related. Although these connections are becoming more widely acknowledged, considerable work needs to be done in this area in order to promote solidarity and support the creation of a movement that addresses environmental and social justice struggles side by side. The protection of the environment for the benefit of all people must be done immediately and urgently, and the human rights framework offers an unquestionable moral and legal rationale for doing so. The primary goals of sustainable development are environmental sustainability and the promotion, protection, and fulfilment of human rights. The right to live in a pollution-free environment has been recognized by the Supreme Court of India as a basic right under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution after taking cognizance of the issue and exercising its judicial creativity. In addition, because the right to development places people at the centre of development, the state is obligated to make sure that its citizens receive the advantages of growth. In light of trends supporting growing reliance on renewable energy sources across several concurrent policy contexts, this study makes the case for the existence of a human right to access clean energy. It is possible to use the current international framework for the defence and advancement of human rights to support the right to access energy for personal gain. It is asserted that the intergovernmental concerns for both human advancement and environmental sustainability are more accurately represented by a human right to access clean energy. While such a right can be used to satisfy fundamental human needs, raise living standards, uphold human health, and reduce poverty, it can also help ensure the effective use of the planet's natural resources, prevent climate change, and protect the environment.
