We warmly invite you to attend our online event “Participation rights in practice – environmental issues”, on Tuesday 28th November. A double panel discussion organized by Justice and Environment (J&E) and the European Environmental Bureau (EEB).

In the first session (10:00 – 11:30), speakers from Justice and Environment will present the results of 2 surveys conducted in 2023 in several EU countries.
