Abstract
The objective of the present article is to identify the presence of elements of environmental democracy, access to information, and public participation, from the organizational discourse of an inter-municipal public consortium. To this end, it is proceeded by the qualitative approach, descriptive and documental research, on the reality of the organizational discourses of the Intermunicipal Consortium for Sustainable Development and Innovation of the State of Paraíba (CONDESPB). It was observed that the Intermunicipal Consortium, from the perspective of the guidelines of environmental democracy, presented incipient access to information, made by limited channels such as the website, and the access to public participation is non-existent, indirectly giving itself by electoral representation, being contrary to what the parameters of environmental democracy advocates in these two pillars, requiring the expansion of systems and information channels and the direct inclusion of the public and interest groups in environmental deliberations so that the practices of environmental democracy in CONDESPB are minimally instrumental only in the pillar of access to information.
