\n

The Center for Legal Research and Analysis started with the implementation of the project \u201cEnvironmental Governance Project\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The project aims to improve environmental governance by providing practical solutions to problems through active civic engagement and expert support for important policy, legislative (particularly in criminal matters), and operational institutional changes in order to improve rule of law and environmental governance in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Good environmental governance is essential in achieving sustainable development and protection of the environment. It is an important vehicle that guarantees fair distribution of the environmental quality of life among all social groups. In 2020, UK GGF funded project \u201cEstablishing Efficient and Effective Environmental Justice\u201d<\/em> implemented by the Center for Legal research and Analysis (CLRA) and the Center for Strategic Research within the Macedonian Academy for Science and Arts (MASA) established a so-called Environmental Forum<\/em>, comprised of representatives of the relevant environmental institutions, CSOs, and eminent professionals. This encompassing approach in solving the regulatory shortcomings in environmental protection has been introduced for the first time, creating synergies among the scientific actors (MASA), practitioners (experts and CSOs), and institutions (MOEPP and other institutions).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Hence, this project revolves around the idea that participatory processes involving a combination of scientific approach and analytical tools are particularly useful for improving multi-level environmental governance. The project will support policy-making, legislative and institutional changes that will improve rule of law in the environment and strengthen environmental governance in the country in several areas identified by the GAP analysis and policy document developed by the GGF project implemented in 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
