La legislación de Ecuador no exige la recolección y publicación de información sobre conservación ambiental. Además, los ciudadanos no tienen la oportunidad de participar en temas ambientales; en general, la población solo puede participar a través de las evaluaciones de impacto ambiental. Con el fin de promover una gobernanza más abierta y responsable, Ecuador se comprometió a implementar el Acuerdo de Escazú, el cual busca ofrecer a la ciudadanía acceso total a información ambiental, la oportunidad de participar en la toma de decisiones en materia ambiental y acceso a la justicia ambiental. Un observatorio nacional, el cual incluye miembros de la sociedad civil, la academia y grupos locales, colaborará con el Gobierno en el desarrollo de una hoja de ruta con propuestas concretas para ratificar e implementar el acuerdo, así como supervisar su implementación.

La législation équatorienne n’exige pas la collecte ou la divulgation d’informations en matière d’intendance environnementale. Les citoyens n’ont pas non plus la possibilité de se prononcer sur les questions environnementales; en général, ils ne peuvent le faire que par le biais d’évaluations de l’impact sur l’environnement. Pour rendre la gouvernance environnementale plus ouverte et plus responsable, l’Équateur s’est engagé à mettre en œuvre l’accord d’Escazú, qui vise à offrir aux citoyens un accès complet et efficace à l’information environnementale, la possibilité de participer au processus décisionnel en matière d’environnement et un accès à la justice en ce qui concerne les questions environnementales. Un observatoire national composé de membres de la société civile, d’universitaires et de groupes locaux collaborera avec le gouvernement pour élaborer une feuille de route contenant des propositions concrètes pour ratifier et mettre en œuvre l’accord, puis superviser son application.
