Chile

Chile carried out its first TAI assessment in 2002, followed by a second study from 2004-2005. Since then, it has used the information gathered in these reports to help develop policy improving participation, access to information and, to a slightly lesser extent, access to justice. For example, the National Commission of the Environment recently committed to creating a participatory process in the design of the country’s first Toxic Release Inventory and TAI partner groups helped influence the design of the system to guarantee full citizen participation.
