On July 1st, during a meeting of the European Law Institute (ELI) Council, the GELI Innovation Paper on Good Green Nudging was approved with 36 votes in favour, two votes against, and two abstentions. These principles, drafted by Marta Santos Silva, Postdoctoral Researcher at JusGov, will be officially published and disseminated in September.

Marta Santos Silva was tasked by the ELI to prepare the third ELI Innovation Paper focusing on the Guiding Principles for the Design and Implementation of Green Nudges. This Innovation Paper project includes 9 Guiding Principles aimed at informing and empowering policymakers in the design and implementation of the best ecological nudges.

The Innovation Papers of the European Law Institute aim to allow its members to propose pioneering legal or multidisciplinary ideas that deserve the attention of the European legal community and seek to improve European Law. The Innovation Paper project on the Guiding Principles for the Design and Implementation of Ecological Nudges was prepared after two successful meetings of the High-Level Expert Group chaired by the author.

The approval of these principles marks a significant step in promoting legal practices that support environmental sustainability, providing clear and effective guidelines for the design of ecological policies.

For more information about the Guiding Principles and their impact, please visit the European Law Institute website or contact the researcher Marta Santos Silva (marta.santossilva@direito.uminho.pt).
