Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book seeks to understand what tools may be available within the European legal order to ensure that all persons enjoy equal opportunities for environmental participation.
MoreLong description:
The emergence of environmental public participation rights in Europe has provided people with greater opportunities to access environmental information, participate in environmental decision-making, and seek judicial protection of their right to a healthy environment. However, significant barriers to exercising environmental participation rights persist for many, particularly those who face other forms of marginalization connected to race, gender, and economic status. Such obstacles can result in outcomes that reinforce, rather than reduce, environmental inequality and injustice, a phenomenon known as the ‘Aarhus paradox.’ In the light of this chal-lenge, this book seeks to understand what tools may be available within the European legal order to ensure that all persons enjoy equal opportunities for environmental participation. Drawing upon social sciences and legal scholarship and looking towards the practice of EU institutions, courts and human rights bodies, this volume explores how law can respond to the Aarhus paradox and how it might better secure the right for all to contribute to the pursuit of environmental sustainability in Europe. The analysis centres on the 1998 Aarhus Convention and its implementation in the EU legal order, examining which of its provisions may already require states to ensure that all persons may participate on equal terms. It also analyses how the broader EU legal order and its fundamental rights framework might support, or even require, a more balanced and equality-oriented implementation of participation rights, including by fostering collective participation through environmental associations. By combining legal analysis with insights from the social sciences, the book proposes potential strategies to address inequalities in this area, while recognizing both the transformative potential of the law and its intrinsic limitations. Intended for academics, legal practitioners, and policymakers, the book offers a contribution to debates on EU law, environmental law, participation rights and environmental justice.
