Title Access to Data for Environmental Purposes: Setting the Scene and Evaluating Recent Changes in EU Data Law
Year 2023
Published Journal Of Environmental Law, 35, 1
Abstract Few policy issues will be as defining to the EU's future as its reaction to environmental decline, on the one hand, and digitalisation, on the other. Whereas the former will shape the (quality of) life and health of humans, animals and plants, the latter will define the future competitiveness of the internal market and relatedly, also societal justice and cohesion. Yet, to date, the interconnections between these issues are rarely made explicit, as evidenced by the European Commission's current policy agendas on both matters. With this article, we hope to contribute to, ideally, a soon growing conversation about how to effectively bridge environmental protection and digitalisation. Specifically, we examine how EU law shapes the options of using data-the lifeblood of the digital economy-for environmental sustainability purposes, and ponder the impact of on-going legislative reform.
