Environmental access rights: in the argentina off shore SEISMIC acquisition campaign case, North Argentina basin (AREAS CAN 108, CAN 100 AND CAN 114)

Abstract

Capitalist development models deepen one of the most important global problems of our time: the environmental crisis. Research and expert documents constantly announce that it is imperative to put into action active policies against climate change and to assume without delay global challenges for the transformation of the way in which humanity relates to nature. In the exercise of these actions, the rights that guarantee access to information, citizen participation and environmental justice are fundamental. This paper analyzes the dynamics developed regarding the exercise of these rights in certain stages of the Argentine project “Argentina Offshore Seismic Acquisition Campaign; North Argentina Basin (Areas CAN 108, CAN 100 and CAN 114)” and its impact on government decision-making.
