Citizen Consultation Platform of the Ministry of the Environment
The Platform for Citizen Consultation of the Ministry of Environment is an instrument that enables citizens to make observations to policies proposed by the Ministry. These observations, which are non-binding, are later reviewed by competent authorities at the Ministry. The latter have 45 days to issue responses to the observations, which must be published on the Ministry's website. In cases in which the Ministry decides to extend the deadline for issuing a response, the reasons that justify such extension must be published on the website.

Institutional design
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?
