Intersectoral Roundtable for Environmental Democracy
The Intersectoral Roundtable for Environmental Democracy was created by Resolution No. 1496 of the Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development, and its purpose is to discuss and formulate proposals on environmental policy and contribute to the monitoring of existing policies. The roundtable is made up of representatives of government agencies, academic institutions, civil society organizations, indigenous peoples, the agriculture, hydrocarbons, mining, energy and infrastructure sectors, Afro-descendant communities, the Raizal people and the Rom people. Each of the aforementioned groups must elect their representatives.
