Constitutional provisions
Article 115 of the Latvian Constitution
The State shall protect the right of everyone to live in a benevolent environment by providing information about environmental conditions and by promoting the preservation and improvement of the environment.
The Constitutional Court of Latvia has held that Article 115 of the Constitution comprises both a state duty to protect the environment, and an individual’s subjective right to live in a benevolent environment. See Case No. 2006-09-03 of 8 February 2007 (“Spatial Plan of the Garkaine Parish”); Case No. 2007-12-2007 of 21 December 2007 (“Compliance of the Port of Ādaži Spatial Plan”).Valsts aizsargā ikviena tiesības dzīvot labvēlīgā vidē, sniedzot ziņas par vides stāvokli un rūpējoties par tās saglabāšanu un uzlabošanu.
