15. The (2019-2021) strategy and action plan focuses on four goals, namely: environmental impact on human rights, human rights and sustainable economic development, the right to equal treatment, and disseminating awareness of human rights principles in civil society institutions and the business sector. 16. The first strategic goal (environmental impact on human rights) seeks to lay the foundations for awareness on the obligations pertaining to enjoying a safe, healthy, clean and sustainable environment, identifying the relevant challenges and opportunities, and identifying human rights best practices to support environmental policy-making. A healthy environment is one of the basic requirements for the enjoyment of human rights and one of the pillars of human dignity because they are closely related to the right to water, food, health, sanitation, and hygiene. In its action plan, the NIHR has incorporated a number of activities to raise awareness of the environmental impact on human rights, such as: Conducting field visits to environmentally polluted areas, publishing reports on environmental legislation to preserve natural reserves, cooperating with official authorities and civil society institutions on environment-related issues, in addition to holding events and programs on environmental protection. 17.  The second strategic goal aims to raise awareness of the importance of human rights in economic development, highlight the effects of inequality, corruption, and mismanagement of public resources on human rights, and encourage the use of constant and sustainable programs on corporate commitment, legal accountability, and responsibility for respecting human rights in business enterprises. The other strategic goal aims at training and educating the civil society and the business sector on ways to participate in disseminating awareness and protecting human rights, identifying civil society institutions that are instrumental in these issues and contributing to the development of their capabilities, in addition to increasing awareness of the importance of human rights defenders in the relevant civil society institutions. 18. Regarding the action plan for implementing the second strategic goal entitled (Human rights and sustainable economic development), the NIHR continues performing its role by holding workshops to underscore the effects of inequality, mismanagement of public resources, and the role of companies in respecting human rights, launching relevant awareness campaigns, initiating and spearheading a national competition for best articles on responsibility and accountability in the business sector, in addition to holding a round table with all the relevant authorities to discuss the challenges facing the rights of foreign workers. 19. Considering that equality and non-discrimination are among the foundations of equitable social, economic, and political development, the third strategic goal of the NIHR focuses on the right to equal treatment. To fulfill this objective, the NIHR promotes and publicizes equality and equal opportunities across all fields, and cooperates with a number of national organizations in this regard. The NIHR aims to conduct a study on the effects of inequality and discrimination on societal advancement and progress. 31
