Granada: Court finds flaws in the environmental assessment of projects

Alert
Isla de Granada

 

Grenada Land Actors—a group comprised of organizations, private land users, activists, and independent professionals—sued the Planning and Development Authority of Grenada, an island highly vulnerable to climate change, for approving three large-scale development projects that lacked adequate environmental impact assessments. The High Court of Grenada found the state authority to have acted improperly, setting important precedents for, among other things, the protection of mangroves and protected areas, which are crucial for mitigating climate change in the Caribbean.
