EU climate law regards citizen participation, cooperation among the competent national and European authorities, and dialogue with the scientific community as essential to achieving climate mitigation objectives across the Member States. Against this background, this article examines a number of significant initiatives undertaken to date by the Union and by national governments to discharge those duties. The aim is to assess whether they comply with the democratic and participatory values enshrined in the Treaties (Articles 9-12 TEU), with the Union’s environmental principles (Article 191(2) TFEU), and with the Union’s international environmental commitments.

Abstract
EU climate law regards citizen participation, cooperation among the competent national and European authorities, and dialogue with the scientific community as essential to achieving climate mitigation objectives across the Member States. Against this background, this article examines a number of significant initiatives undertaken to date by the Union and by national governments to discharge those duties. The aim is to assess whether they comply with the democratic and participatory values enshrined in the Treaties (Articles 9-12 TEU), with the Union’s environmental principles (Article 191(2) TFEU), and with the Union’s international environmental commitments.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
