La nozione di richiedente nell’accesso alle informazioni ambientali: osservazioni alla sentenza Coillte (C–129/24)

The Coillte judgment (C–129/24) marks a key development in the EU’s right of access to environmental information. The Court clarifies that applicants are not required to provide their real name or physical address, but also highlights the need to balance this right with public authorities’ operational capacity. Resources, organization, and digital tools are crucial for ensuring both passive and active access. The case thus provides concrete guidance for making public participation more effective and impactful.
