Measuring the impact of access to justice for a greener Europe project
EcosystemEvaluation carried out a socio-eonomic impact assessment of the A2J EARL project. The project aims to improve how EU environmental law is used and enforced, by raising people’s awareness of their right to go to court when environmental laws are broken.
