| Summary: |
This paper analyzes thoroughly the Spanish legal framework shaping the participation of the public with regard to the environmental protection (particularly, of the protection of natural sites). The laws providing for (i) public participation in respect of the drawing up of certain plans and programmes, (ii) integrated pollution prevention and control, (iii) environmental impact assessment, and (iv) administrative procedure are underachieved and limited to the strict minimum necessary to comply with the International and EU Law (Rio Declaration 1992, Aarhus Convention and Directive 2003/35/EC). The environmental governance instruments are none but classical participation processes based on the right of the public concerned to express comments and opinions. The National Parks Act of 2014 features a range of unambitious participation instruments but misregards, among others, the co-management of natural resources sponsored by the IUCN. Such a conformist legal framework is nevertheless in accordance with the unripeness of social activism on environmental matters, as statistics show. |
