In November 2023, the Strategic Committee for Youth Participation and Advocacy filed a lawsuit for protection against the refusal of the Ministry of Environment and Energy to provide information related to the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).

 

Following the ruling, the ministry produced an information document that was deemed incomplete and lacking in transparency by the plaintiff, who is considering continuing the litigation.

 

After a detailed analysis of official documents, the plaintiff estimated that the progress in the implementation of the country's NDCs is only 2%, failing to observe the Principle of Progressivity and the right to environmental information established in the Escazú Agreement.
