The Third meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 3) of the Regional Agreement on Access to Information, Public Participation and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters in Latin America and the Caribbean -known as the Escazú Agreement- will be held from April 22 to 24 at the headquarters of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) in Santiago, Chile.
Its main objective will be the consideration and approval of the Action Plan on Human Rights Defenders in Environmental Matters, prepared in a participatory process under the leadership of the ad hoc Working Group coordinated by Chile, Ecuador and Saint Kitts and Nevis. Likewise, reports from the Secretariat, Board of Directors, Implementation and Compliance Support Committee and roadmaps for national implementation will be presented, and any other matter that the Parties decide will be discussed.
