Objective
The aim of this
4-session online workshop is to provide the participants with an
overview of the three pillars of the Aarhus Convention. The focus will
be on access to justice in light of the relevant European Commission
Notice published in April 2017.
Emphasis will be given to legal standing, scope of the judicial review,
effective remedies, costs for access to justice and time limits of
