Mining Environmental information Information
In Germany, the government and public administration bodies provide the general public with information about the environment. Every person is entitled to free access to environmental information via these bodies that are obliged to provide information.
Environmental information provides information about
- the state of the environment, human health and safety,
- factors, activities and measures that have an impact on the environment,
- environmental law,
- political programs relating to the environment.
You can also request specific data from the authorities yourself, for example on air and water quality and data on biotopes and protected areas.
If you wish to receive certain environmental information, you can apply to the competent authority. You do not have to prove that you have a legal interest.
You can obtain access to environmental information, for example by requesting information or inspecting files.
