Abstract
This document contains the road map for the implementation in Belize of the Regional Agreement on Access to Information, Public Participation and Justice in Environmental Matters in Latin America and the Caribbean (Escazú Agreement), prepared by the Government of Belize with the support of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). It provides a normative and practical analysis of access rights in Belize, systematizing the progress made and the gaps that remain.
A consultative workshop was held with a number of stakeholders, including public officials, to discuss the legal analysis and gather proposals on priority actions for implementation of the Escazú Agreement in Belize. This document includes those priority actions and details the governance system for implementation of the Escazú Agreement in the country.
