Having been involved in support of #EscazuAgreement negotiations since 2015, Magdolna Tóthné Nagy of GUTA Association & Aarhus ECO Forum suggests for a regular dialogue and a more systematic cooperation between the two agreements, with civil society actively engaged.
H.E. Amb. Colin Murdoch highlights how the #EscazuAgreement is now referenced in the revised St. George's Declaration, and pointing to the complexity of info sharing & cooperation in the #OECS due to the nature of jurisdictions of independent states and territories.
"The #EscazuAgreement is all about alliance - with the people, for the people."
Carlos De Miguel Alonso of @eclac.bsky.social underscores the important cross collaboration among Europe and Latin America and Carribean countries, as Escazu advances environmental rights in the region.
Opening the event, Marco Keiner of #UNECE highlights that the #AarhusConvention and #EscazuAgreement beyond just treaties, but "all about empowering people", as they are frameworks inclusive governance, env't democracy & public engagement, calling for collaboration beyond regions.
Ignacio F. Lara of Asuntos Del Sur underlines the importance of env't democracy in ensuring #EHRDs and #IndigenousPeoples are included in the #JustTransition. One can look to the #EscazuAgreement as the first legally-binding instrument in Latin America that can ensure this.
How do the #MinamataConvention and the #EscazuAgreement connect to protect people and the environment from #MercuryPollution in Latin America and the Caribbean?
