Local Government Powers in Extractive Mining and Other Environmentally Critical Projects

In celebration of Indigenous Peoples’ Month, we’ve come out with a primer on the powers of local government units (LGUs) in mining and other environmentally critical projects.
Designed in an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) format, it is meant to help LGUs, local communities, and civil society organizations (CSOs) find legal anchors for their environmental causes.
Get your copy of the primer here: https://www.lrcksk.org/publications (https://www.lrcksk.org/publications?fbclid=IwAR0i-7g_-14mZbRms-yRGg8kOJI9gToVopnD7IwosBO-Bp-EaP91nw0yLmA)
