Public Participation via PARTICIPA.PT in Portugal

VIEW RESOURCE

In 2015, the Ministry of the Environment made the PARTICIPA website available in recognition of the need to increase public involvement in decision-making in environmental matters. The aim of the website is to facilitate access for citizens and those interested in the public participation process, to encourage informed participation, and to enhance efficiency in process management. On this website, the public can easily access information about public participation procedures.
