I think you can to be honest. Or at least, the same accusation works the reverse way, you can't compensate for ecological transgressions by appealing to some other liberty. "our firms pour lead into the river, but we have freedom of speech" is less of a sound argument than it seems to people steeped in that culture. At least with ecological concerns you can make the case that it is the base layer for all organic life on earth, you can live unfree but you can't live without a biosphere, I actually think it would make some sense for universal human rights to reflect that order of priorities. Recognizing our shared biological reality might be an easier sell for a universal rights framework than some liberal political rights not even shared by a majority of people on the planet.
