More formally, the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs defines public participation „the involvement of citizens in the decision making process of the State - through measures and / or institutional arrangements -to increase their influence on public policies and programs, ensuring a more positive impact on their social and economic levels”. The 2020 will remain in history as year of global pandemic with strong restrictions. Most Governments have responded to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic by declaring a state of emergency and by adopting numerous measures to combat the spread of the virus, which have often included restrictions on the freedoms of assembly and movement. It is important to realized that the fundamental environmental rights should be respected and state should create and elaborate the adequate mechanism for guaranteeing the right to access to information and public participation in decision making process on environmental matters.
