Better environmental policies and implementation in Bulgaria with the Green Laws initiative
Since 2014 the Green Laws Initiative has been monitoring the development and implementation of Bulgarian environmental legislation in the fields of Energy, Climate, Territorial planning, Rural development, Biodiversity and forests. Green Laws is a core part of the work of the non-profit organization Research Practices Association.
To enable advocacy for the development of better policies and the implementation of current laws, the Green Laws initiative is organizing expert workshops, public campaigns to engage citizens on the topics of environmental legislation, and public debates where decision-makers discuss their priorities with interested citizens. The initiative also engages in continuous monitoring and advocacy of the Bulgarian legislature in terms of sustainable development and greener laws and facilitates criminal proceedings.
Green development in rural areas
As one of the five main topics of the initiative is the green development of the rural areas in Bulgaria and the legislation for its achievement, to a great extent vulnerable groups in such areas are a natural focus. Apart from that, Green Laws benefits all Bulgarian citizens in its strive for a better and greener legislature.
Support for other projects
The initiative consists of a rather small team of highly skilled environmental and legal experts, but it is also an integral part of a much larger network of active citizens and volunteers, who constitute Bulgaria’s green movement. As such it has been providing the necessary legal expertise of many campaigns and initiatives.
