Youth for Green Communities (YGC) defends the three critical pillars of environmental democracy: Transparency: The right to freely access environmental information, promoting openness to ensure citizens, civil society, and media can hold governments accountable. Participation: Citizens, especially those most affected, must have a voice in environmental decision-making to ensure legitimacy and equitable policies. Justice: Access to legal mechanisms for enforcing environmental laws and obtaining redress ensures governments act as effective environmental stewards
