Press Statement: Concerns Regarding Changes to the Governing Structure of Environmental Protection Agency and Amendments to the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulation
Transparency Maldives issued a press statement expressing concern over the government's decision to remove the Environmental Protection Agency's governing board and place it under the Ministry of Tourism and Environment, as well as the 6th Amendment to the EIA Regulation allowing fast-tracked environmental impact assessments. The organization called on the government to restore the agency's independence, reinstate oversight, reverse the amendment, enhance public participation, and strengthen anti-corruption safeguards.
