Public access to environmental Information supports good environmental decision-making. But in order to be able to contribute meaningfully to environmental decision-making, environmental information must be both accessible and of useful quality. This article offers an overview of the principal instruments for providing the public with access to environmental information. It might be useful to specify more clearly what is meant by environmental information. In this article, environmental information is, in the first place, the information generated by environmental legislation and measures at all levels of government and which is held by public authorities. A distinction is often made between "active" and "passive" rights to environmental information. "Active" information means the information which the authorities must provide to the public at their own initiative. Examples include requirements to supply information concerning the possible environmental impacts of proposed projects. "Passive" information refers to the right of the public to obtain information upon request. The focus of this article is on this latter type of information. A great deal of environmental Information is generated and collected as a result of environmental law and regulations, or in connection with applications for governmental licenses. Some environmental information is generated for purposes of monitoring and control. (fragment of text)
