A Community Action Toolkit: A Roadmap for Using Environmental Rights to Fight Pollution

World Resources Institute
The Community Action Toolkit guides communities in leveraging environmental rights to fight pollution through strategies for accessing information, public participation, and justice.

The Community Action Toolkit from the World Resources Institute empowers marginalized communities to leverage environmental rights in combating pollution. It was developed as part of the project Strengthening the Right to Information for People and the Environment (STRIPE) in partnership with more than a dozen civil society organizations across six countries. To date, several civil society organizations and local communities have already used this toolkit to strengthen their right to a clean, healthy, and safe environment.

Targeting air, water, and solid waste issues, this resource aids communities by outlining essential environmental rights—access to information, public participation, and justice—needed to advocate for pollution control and compliance with environmental laws.
