The Blog Symposium
The GNHRE, through its Latin America regional leadership, welcomes you to our first virtual blog symposium. Through an open call for contributions, we have invited scholars to initiate a discussion on the implementation of the Escazú Agreement.
With a diverse range of contributions, we have been discussing some of the core elements of the agreement, how it compares to the Aarhus Convention, and what challenges lie in its implementation through the institutional framework envisioned by the treaty. We have also looked at some of the debates arising from national implementation, including challenges faced by countries that have yet to ratify the agreement.
We continue to publish blog posts. We invite you to join our conversation and welcome your thoughts and reactions. Please reach out to us at gnhreescazu@gmail.com.
This symposium was organized and edited by regional director Maria Antonia Tigre, along with the collaboration of several GNHRE members. If you want to learn more about the Escazú Agreement, see our introductory class on the topic here.
