La corresponsabilidad de los ciudadanos mexicanos en la prevención, solución de conflictos y protección ambiental

Abstract

In Mexico, federal agencies, their states, and particularly their municipalities, must comply
with the constitutional mandate of guaranteeing the right to a healthy environment for the
population of their territory, which can only be achieved through, not just planning of
environmental public policies focused on a comprehensive protection of the human right in
question, but on the timely implementation and effectiveness of the same, based on
governance exercises that consider the environmental problems of communities that have not
been addressed historically, which It has had repercussions in the lack of protection of the
effective ecological balance, essential for the well-being and development of the populations.
In this sense, the Regional Agreement on Access to Information, Public Participation and
Access to Justice in Environmental Matters in Latin America and the Caribbean, which
entered into force on April 22, 2021, is the ideal binding guide for that the Mexican State
promote public participation in environmental issues in our country, as well as to include the
social perspective in public policies for the prevention of environmental damage and thus
seek to solve socio-environmental conflicts in Mexico.
