Authors : Ouafi Hadja .

Abstract

The right to access information primarily refers to the right of every individual to request information about the society to which they belong. With the advancements witnessed by numerous countries and their effect on the human environment, the concept of the right to access environmental information has emerged. Often referred to as environmental information or environmental journalism, this concept has gained increasing recognition. Jurisprudence has increasingly acknowledged this right as part of human rights, given its critical role as a fundamental tool for environmental preservation and for addressing violations against the environment.
