🌍📢 Exciting news! The latest policy paper of our member UfU (J&E Germany) on digital #publicparticipation in #environmentalmatters is out now! 📝🔍 #Participation in environmental matters is a central component of a transparent #democracy and citizen participation strengthens trust in it. The pandemic has transferred public participation to the digital space, with both positive and negative effects. In collaboration with #JusticeandEnvironment (https://lnkd.in/ew4jREU5) and many of its member organizations, we have been exploring the crucial intersection between digital technologies and environmental decision-making processes. In recent years, the emergence of digital platforms has revolutionized the way citizens engage with policymakers, offering them unprecedented opportunities to contribute to discussions and advocate for issues they care about. Despite progress, the current landscape of digital citizen participation in EU Member States leaves much to be desired. We therefore propose a number of actionable recommendations to close existing gaps and ensure meaningful participation for all. Our most urgent request in terms of regulation: Amendments to the #EIA and #SEA Directives: It is high time for explicit provisions on digital public participation within the EIA and SEA Directives. By establishing clear requirements and mechanisms for the integration of digital tools into these procedures, we can pave the way for more inclusive and effective decision-making processes. Particular attention should be paid to the SEA Directive, which will become increasingly important with the expansion of renewable energies. Our policy paper can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eUxtaSWp If you would like to read more about the project, we recommend our article in the Tagesspiegel Background Digitalization & AI: https://lnkd.in/eZjqpb2F Click here for the project with detailed country studies: https://lnkd.in/e3uRfRU7

ÖKOBÜRO and J&E 💪 oppose weakening of the Ombuds Office for Environmental Protection and Nature Protection in Salzburg, Austria 🌿 In transforming the RED III into national law, the government of Salzburg published a proposed reform of the nature protection law and the law concerning the ombuds office for environmental protection. The reform makes excessive cuts in environmental assessments and the competences of the ombuds office. ÖKOBÜRO and J&E have criticized those changes in a statement to the government of Salzburg. 🚫🌍 https://tinyurl.com/3pmfcndz #EnvironmentalProtection #NatureConservation #Salzburg

🎉 Groundbreaking success against vexatious litigation! 🌍 Justice and Environment, a member of the Coalition Against SLAPPs in Europe - CASE is thrilled to announce that the Committee of Ministers adopted the Council of Europe Recommendation on Anti-SLAPP today. This is a huge development with the potential to limit the damage caused by SLAPPs and even deter them. The Recommendation will be a significant tool for environmental defenders within the EU, as it fleshes out the new EU Directive on SLAPPs in important respects, as well as in non-EU member states of the Council of Europe. 👏 Link to the Draft Recommendation: https://rm.coe.int/msi-slp-revised-draft-recommendation-on-slapps/1680abaf88 Statement by CASE: https://www.the-case.eu/latest/coes-recommendation-represents-a-significant-milestone-in-the-fight-against-slapps/ #Groundbreaking #AntiSLAPP #EnvironmentalDefense #Justice #CASE #CouncilOfEurope #EU #LegalVictory @pratitelji
