EU-wide conference on access to justice in environmental matters – 13 May 2020
This conference will be an opportunity to hear from professionals dealing with the issue from varied perspectives including lawyers, NGOs, national and EU judges as well as officials from the European Commission. The discussion should enable us to learn, share experience, best practices and hurdles on access to justice, and discuss possible ways to overcome them.

The project

Access to Justice is a fundamental means through which citizens and NGOs can support the implementation and enforcement of laws and policies to protect the environment.

The goal of this ATOJ-EARL project is to achieve “Access to Justice for a Greener Europe”. It strives to enhance access to justice in environmental matters by providing information, training and support for the judiciary, public authorities and lawyers of eight European member states.

For more information, visit our website.

ClientEarth and Justice and Environment are implementing this project with the financial support of the European Commission’s LIFE instrument.
