Abstract

This chapter analyzes the Web sites of the environment departments of European local government signatories of the Aalborg+10 Commitments. It represents an example of evaluating a first category of e-participation, that is, electronic access to information. The aim is to establish the extent to which the signatories make use of the Internet to promote e-participation and environmentally friendly behaviors among their citizens. Our results show that the developments in e-participation are higher in those areas just giving information than in areas of interactive communication. The Internet, as a tool to revitalize the public sphere, is still limited to those countries with higher levels of transparency and a culture of citizen engagement.
