The proposed Universal Declaration of the Rights of Wetlands is consistent with the principles of the rights of Nature, and reframes the human–wetlands paradigm away from one of degradation and loss to one of ecological sustainability that supports the Web of Life and continued delivery of Nature’s contributions to people. Given the significance of the role of wetlands in reversing climate destabilisation and biodiversity degradation and loss, the paradigm shift engendered by a Declaration opens new possibilities to align wetlands, climate, and biodiversity policy, consistent with the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2021) proposals, to guide effective governmental and non-governmental mechanisms. Widening the acceptance of the concepts presented in the Declaration is part of a process to reframe human–wetlands relationships, and is ongoing and iterative.

拟议的《世界湿地权利宣言》符合自然权利的原则，并将人类 - 湿地范式从退化和丧失的范式重新定义为支持生命之网和继续交付自然的生态可持续性的范式对人的贡献。鉴于湿地在扭转气候不稳定和生物多样性退化和丧失方面的重要作用，宣言引发的范式转变为调整湿地、气候和生物多样性政策开辟了新的可能性，与生物多样性和生态系统政府间科学政策平台一致服务和政府间气候变化专门委员会 (2021) 建议，以指导有效的政府和非政府机制。
