A leading and effective environmental partnership can only be achieved if the public enjoys the
right to information and awareness, allowing them to understand the environmental situation and
any new developments. This knowledge is essential to take the necessary actions to protect
against potential threats. Environmental partnership requires the diversification of rights in
different environmental areas, including chemicals and the ozone layer. However, this right often
encounters obstacles when administrations refuse to provide citizens with environmental
information under the pretext of professional secrecy, which they use as an excuse to monopolize
decision-making in environmental matters. In addition, citizens may refrain from seeking
environmental information due to a lack of awareness of these issues or the barriers that impede
access to environmental information.
