Environmental Rights Centre for Scotland

Date: Wednesday 4 August

This is a new service that can provide support for people and groups wanting to protect the environment. Here's the link to them  https://www.ercs.scot/  and here's what they say about themselves:

Our aim

To support individuals and communities to use their rights to protect the environment, tackle climate change, and improve local biodiversity and greenspaces for health and wellbeing.

We will do this through:

• public education to increase awareness of legal rights – see our resources
• advice to increase confidence in participating in environmental decision-making
• advocacy in policy and law reform to improve environmental law – see our work
• public interest litigation to enforce progress on key environmental problems.

ERCS understands environmental law as including law relating to land-use planning, climate change, pollution control, environmental health, the conservation of biodiversity, and any other field (e.g. cultural heritage, transport and energy) to the extent that it impacts on the natural environment in Scotland.
