The Access Initiative (TAI) is
a global coalition of public interest groups collaborating to
promote national-level implementation of commitments to access to
information, participation, and justice in environmental
decision-making. TAI is led by six organizations.
New Access Initiative Assessment Toolkit (Version 2.0) and Global Findings Site
The new version of the TAI Assessment Toolkit was launched in Bangkok, Thailand during TAI's first ever Global Meeting. Frances Seymour (WRI) and Isabel Bustillos (IA-Mexico) spoke about the toolkit's breakthroughs and improvements over the former version.
The new Global Findings Site was also launched in Bangkok. This site features a database of reports and findings from TAI assessments in countries around the world.
