MoP7 Aarhus Convention & MoPP4 Protocol on PRTRs


PUBLIC PARTICIPATION




INTRODUCTION

The Aarhus Convention and its Protocol on PRTRs empower people with the rights
to access information, participate in decision-making in environmental matters
and to seek justice. They are the only legally binding global instruments on
environmental democracy. Their powerful twin protections for the environment and
human rights can help us respond to many challenges facing our world: from
climate change and the loss of biodiversity, air and water pollution to poverty
eradication and security. They provide a solid framework for governments to
engage the public effectively in implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development and its SDGs.
