Environmental Justice Atlas
The Environmental Justice Atlas documents, catalogues and monitors social conflict around environmental issues across the globe. This initiative was developed by the ICTA-UAB in Barcelona and contains over 3,000 cases worldwide and 88 cases in Peru. The digital Atlas collects and empowers the voice of communities struggling for environmental justice in order to place their claims in the international environmental agenda and push for more accountability from the national governments. The platform also serves as a space for those working on environmental justice issues to get updated information, find other like-minded groups working on related issues, and increase the visibility of environmental conflicts.

Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
