How do children perceive access and participation rights in environmental matters? The study presented in this book aims to broaden the discourse on political participation in environmental issues to include the perspectives of children and young people. As part of a participatory qualitative study, six interviews were conducted with young activists to explore their perspectives on their rights in environmental matters. The theoretical framework of the study is the concept of ‘Living Rights’. Different dimensions of children’s understanding of rights in relation to a healthy environment are analyzed, and challenges that children encounter when invoking their rights to access and participation are revealed.weiterlesen
