This project explores the effectiveness of legal, institutional, and political mechanisms for realizing human rights in natural resources that invoke sustainability concerns. To date, scholarly approaches to human rights and natural resources have remained largely separate, despite the social and behavioral dimensions of sustainability and the resource dimensions of human rights claims. This project integrates these perspectives in order to enrich human rights scholarship and sustainability research, illuminating the dynamics and complexity of human-nature interactions. Using archival research, comparative-historical analysis, interviews, and quantitative analysis, this project analyzes the mechanisms, actors, and pathways by which human rights and sustainability goals might be fulfilled. Three megacities were chosen as the sites for analysis because of the extreme governance challenges they face due to the confluence of rapid urbanization, illegal housing, migration, poverty, inequality, and water scarcity. All of these factors fundamentally affect public health, social equity, and the environment. Research objectives include documenting and evaluating the role of legal and non-legal mechanisms in realizing human rights and sustainability norms for water and sanitation; evaluating the role of state and non-state actors in implementing social rights; and identifying and comparatively analyzing configurations of mechanisms and pathways across research sites and sectors to see when and how they operate more or less effectively. An important outcome will be the identification of practical strategies for making social rights real in places where it is difficult to do so. The policy significance of rights to natural resources gives the project substantial broader impacts. Findings will be made available to respondents as well as to international development agencies via a web portal and in-country presentations. The project will also expand international research networks, foster curricular development at home and abroad, and expose U.S. students to cross-national research.

该项目探讨了法律，制度和政治机制的有效性，以实现引起可持续性关注的自然资源中的人权。迄今为止，尽管具有可持续性的社会和行为方面以及人权主张的资源维度，但人权和自然资源的学术方法仍然在很大程度上是分开的。该项目融合了这些观点，以丰富人权学术和可持续性研究，从而阐明了人类互动的动态和复杂性。使用档案研究，比较历史分析，访谈和定量分析，该项目分析了可以实现人权和可持续性目标的机制，参与者和途径。由于快速的城市化，非法住房，移民，贫困，不平等和水的稀缺性，他们面临的极端治理挑战是由于他们面临的极端治理挑战，因此选择了三个大城市。 所有这些因素从根本上影响公共卫生，社会公平和环境。研究目标包括记录和评估法律和非法律机制在实现人权和可持续性规范和卫生规范中的作用；评估国家和非国家行为者在执行社会权利中的作用；并识别和比较分析跨研究站点和行业的机制和途径的配置，以查看它们何时以及如何或多或少地操作。一个重要的结果将是确定在难以这样做的地方实现社会权利的实践策略。自然资源权的政策意义给项目带来了更大的更广泛的影响。 调查结果将通过网络门户和国内演讲提供给受访者以及国际发展机构的发现。该项目还将扩大国际研究网络，促进国内外的课程发展，并使美国学生接受跨国研究。
