The Environmental Rights Report created by the BeLIFE project consortium looks at how people (especially young people) can stand up for their environmental rights across the EU. It focuses on procedural rights, such as the right to participate in decisions that affect our environment, to access environmental information, and to seek justice when those rights are denied.

Using insights from the EU’s Environmental Implementation Reviews, it examines how the European Green Deal is shaping these rights and what obligations it creates for governments to listen, involve, and respond to the public.

It also links what is happening in Europe with the growing global momentum around the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment, including at the United Nations.
