Episode Details

A major environmental watchdog group is sounding the alarm over new proposals that could make public input optional in environmental reviews — a move that directly contradicts The Bahamas’ recent global commitment to environmental transparency under the Escazú Agreement. While the proposals include some positive steps like better impact screening and focus on sensitive areas, critics warn they undermine accountability and community voice. Public participation isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s essential for honest governance and protecting local ecosystems. The Organization for Responsible Governance is urging citizens to engage now before these changes become law.
