The updated Recommendations on the more effective use of electronic information tools (ECE/MP.PP/2021/2/Add.2) were prepared through an open and participatory consultation process and adopted by the Meeting of the Parties to the Aarhus Convention through decision VII/1 (ECE/MP.PP/2021/2/Add.1) at its seventh session (Geneva, 18-21 October). The updated EIT Recommendations aim to assist Parties, signatories and other interested States in supporting the implementation of the Aarhus Convention through the promotion of the development, maintenance, upgrade and use of electronic information tools by applying common approaches and standards. In addition, they support efforts to implement other relevant international commitments.
