Open letter from environmental civil society organisations to the European Commission

The signatories of this open letter to the European Commission wish to stress that civil society engagement is not only essential for Europe’s future, strong public participation and the resilience of European democracy, but is also a legal requirement under the Treaties and the Aarhus Convention. Furthermore, it supports the EU’s commitments made collectively by the European Commission, European Parliament and the Council to living well within planetary boundaries and strengthens the European Project.
