Fostering public participation - Preliminary views from E.NGO operating at regional level (EU)2nd Global Roundtable on PRTRs Madrid, 25 November 2015 1 Aims public participation improve environmental performance of industry / sustainable development (e.g. SDG 12 on SCP) improve transparency and (corporate) accountability in environmental
management track (+ improve) progress in pollution reduction identify hot spots, prevention measures and priorities for action 2 Aims public participation compliance promotion active engagement of citizens in decisionmaking stakeholder involvement in subject matters related to environmental
protection acces to justice 3 Supporting tools (I) Easily accessible, comprehensive and timely data / knowledge: user-friendly portal allowing for multi query search; e.g. http://ampd.epa.gov/ampd/ one-stop-shop solution (streamlining of reporting) and integration of data/knowledge key phases of decision-making opportunities throughout lifecycle of industrial activity
(EIA, permits, change in operation, inspections, inputs/output policy,...) 4 Supporting tools (II) Data of adequate quantity/quality that allows informed decision making to achieve aims: parameters that enable benchmarking (BAT/BEP uptake, input/output incl. products, substitution chemicals of concern) e.g. U.S. EPA (P2 search tool), ECHA dissemination portal / eChemPortal, SAICM, other improvement actions taken by operator NPRI
parameters that enable (real time) compliance assessment (e.g. CEMs data, real emissions versus permit limits, trends towards quality objectives, track record compliance) 5 Supporting tools (II) Contextual information (environmental quality standards and policy aims) e.g. (air quality ) http://aqicn.org (water quality) WISE/ EEA and FATE 6
Points for consideration Loads of relevant data / knowledge is generated How to make operational better participation that impact on present and future? Fit for purpose IT-Systems (multi-query / real time) Inclusion of relevant parameters, enable add-ons for benchmark promotion / pollution prevention measures Integration of related environmental information (knowledge on demand) Regular exchange with all stakeholders on expectations / follow up
