The Aarhus Convention & its application to civic environmental monitoring
The lecture offers an introduction to the concept of environmental democracy, access to information, and access to justice in environmental matters in Europe, pursuant to the Aarhus Convention which is applicable also in Ukraine. We will discuss how the Convention legitimises participation in environmental decisions, for example through civic environmental monitoring. We will also address the thought-provoking reflection on the need to recognize a new civic ‘right to contribute environmental information’.
