The right of divulging information in the environmental subject has been assimilated by the italian legislator for some years and it represents with the environmental formation an important stimulus for the conscious participation of the citizens in the processes which exercise their influence over the environmental and territorial quality.

Environmental formation

The process towards the achievement of the sustainable territorial development can entirely be realized by means of the environmental formation. This formation, which is addressed to the territorial employees, administrators and citizens, will make it possible for them to share out a language and the instruments that are based on the same one.
The creation of this common knowledge is the principal and basic step towards the development of one territory, which needs to develop and become a protagonist of a change that favours its own community.

Here is what is possible to do through the environmental formation:

Sigeambiente addressed itself  to both planning and achievement of the formative routes, which are aimed at implementing the sustainability’s themes.

Environmental information

It is already certain that the achievement of any goal of a political nature has to pass through one community’s responsibility. The success of any programme is almost null and void without the contribution of each individual.

All the more reason, this happens in the sector of the sustainable development, where the principal defiance is to act culturally on population. It is not casually that, firstly, the European legislator and, secondly, the italian one have pointed out the necessity of the environmental information, which is already considered as a citizen’s right and a public board’s duty.

The latest legislative trend is attested towards divulgation’s procedures of environmental data, in order not to imply the activation of the person, who receives the information, on the contrary, the activation of the holder institution, which has to achieve the majority of the possible consumers, apart from their specific request for being informed.

The other modality of environmental information is represented by the participation, that means by the possibility for the citizens and for who live in a determinate territory, to express their opinion about the choices that determine the environmental, economic and social future of the territory itself. This is a way of becoming conscious of problems, realizing the difficulties of the choices that needs being made. The participation of the citizens in the public decisional processes is the first condition of the development’s sustainability: the environmental policies have to be based on the exchange of social interested individuals’ ideas, to become in this way a sharing strategy.

The awareness of everybody’s role in environmental impacts is important for the change of social behaviours which aren’t sustainable, although this change of approaches (cognitive and  participatory) can’t happen towards an imposition of the behavioural patterns: it is necessary to be the population itself to decide the change of its behaviour.

Sigeambiente is capable of supporting the local body in its activity, in order to divulge and involve the population, and also to awaken that one to the environmental problems.
