Environmental democracy

Under the UKAID-supported programme, "Advancing Environmental Protection, Climate Change, and Democratic Resilience in Georgia: Phase 2," Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD) announces the release of the study report presentation, "Climate Change Impact on Women's Vulnerability in Georgia."

Under the UKAID supported program, "Advancing Environmental Protection, Climate Change, and Democratic Resilience in Georgia: Phase 2," the Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD) has released key findings from a groundbreaking public opinion survey. The survey, developed in collaboration with the Institute of Social Studies and Analysis (ISSA), sheds light on the knowledge, perceptions, attitudes, and policy preferences surrounding environmental and climate change issues in Georgia.

Drawing on emerging evidence and case studies, this report discusses the conceptual and practical overlaps between successful climate adaptation and the three pillars of environmental democracy: access to information about the environment, public participation in decision making, and the right to justice or legal redress for environmental damages. It is published alongside a framework to guide practitioners to assess climate adaptation programmes through a lens of environmental democracy.
