THE ERHORUS CONVENTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Aarhus Convention, also referred to as the Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-Making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters, is an international agreement that embodies the principles of participatory democracy in the field of the environment. It was adopted in June 1998 in Aarhus, Denmark.
The Aarhus Convention emphasises the significance of public involvement and access to information in environmental management. Its primary aim is to equip citizens with the necessary tools to actively participate in decision-making processes on environmental issues. The Convention recognises that environmental issues are governed by national legislation and require an interactive dialogue between governments and citizens.
By granting individuals the right to access information and participate in decision-making, the Convention has contributed to the protection and preservation of the environment.
