    The document discusses the Aarhus Convention, an international agreement that aims to guarantee the rights of access to information, public participation in decision-making, and access to justice in environmental matters. It came into force in 2001 and currently has 46 parties, including the UK and EU. The compliance committee of the convention recently found that EU member states must properly reassess their national renewable energy plans and submit them to public consultation to be in compliance with the convention. This is because the convention requires citizens be consulted transparently on environmental matters before policies are implemented.

    Whether
    through apathy
    or a misguided
    sense of
    helplessness, no
    society should
    permit those
    governing them
    to inflict
    physical,
    mental, or
    economic harm
    upon their
    citizens
