| Resumo: | The Principle 10 of the 1992 Rio Declaration presents democracy as the best way to carry out decision-making processes in environmental matters, inviting states to implement the so-called participatory rights: access to information, participation and justice. Since then, this triad of rights occupies a key place in the sustainable development paradigm and, as such, it was considered in all the main documents related to this concept. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are not the exception. |
