The BeLIFE project focuses on the role citizens and civil society can play in enforcing and ensuring compliance with European Environmental Law, particularly the European Green Deal. The main objective of the project is to enhance compliance with EU environmental and climate law and to strengthen environmental democracy rights.

This report is an update of the 2018 ‘Challenge accepted?’ report, which was part of a  series of reports published under the Implement for LIFE (IFL) project.

This report focuses on Access to Justice and how barriers to it can affect the way EU environmental laws are followed in the Member States.
