Estonian Environmental Law Center is an expert organization acting in public interest, founded in 2007 by Estonian Fund For Nature and by three environmental lawyers. EELC has been created to ensure that environmental legislation and its application meets people’s health and well-being needs, in addition to biodiversity. The main target groups of the Centre are NGOs (environmental organizations and community organizations), communities and private individuals. With the ACF support the Centre works to ensure that climate arguments are part of environmental impact assessment process; public has access and is engaged in policy development and strategic planning regarding climate; and environmental decisions affecting local communities are inclusive and engaging local communities. In addition, the Centre aims to improve its impact assessment process.
