Current advancements in civil rights and environmental activism
emphasize the crucial importance of making environmental
information widely available to the public, regardless of whether
it is in the hands of the government or of corporations, especially
when the information is needed to understand and prevent risks for
human health and the environment. In the wake of a resurgence of
environmental and civil rights activism, conflicts flare between
the right of the people to know and the right of private actors to
keep certain information hidden, mostly for commercial reasons.
This book offers a detailed comparative analysis of how
environmental information is being accessed in different countries
and jurisdictions, and how these issues are currently being handled
by judges and governments. Focusing on the right of access to
environmental information held and produced by private actors and
the legal issues that emerge when other values and rights are
compromised, this book offers an alternative framework to improve
on current legal systems, suggesting a more nuanced and balanced
approach that takes both set of interests duly into consideration.
Providing an integrated approach to public environmental law and
private commercial law, the book integrates the arguments from both
sides to establish a common ground, defining shared principles and
models that provide a solid basis for a robust new system.
Reviewing access to private sector information at a truly
international level, this book will be relevant to students,
academics and practitioners working in these areas.
