Challenges and Ideas
• Few comments – improving the participation of
local communities: consultant council; adoption
of public meetings as a requirement;
identification of specific actors per type of
project.
• Absence of information about litigation concerns
(labor lawsuits, environmental permits,
indigenous conflicts) – getting closer to public
prosecutors: establishment of information flow.
