CIEL welcomes the adoption of a binding agreement between most Latin American and Caribbean countries that codifies access rights to information, participation, and justice in environmental decision-making, aligning with Principle 10 of the 1992 Rio Declaration.

• The adopted binding agreement between most Latin American and Caribbean countries aims to guarantee environmental democracy by codifying the principles of the 1992 Rio Declaration's Principle 10, which emphasizes public participation, access to information on hazardous materials, and access to judicial and administrative proceedings.
