Introduction Assessing and managing the environmental impacts of major construction, infrastructure and industrial projects is essential to protecting Timor-Leste's environment, the health and safety of our citizens, and the ability of farmers, fishers and other people to support themselves and their families. Article 6(f) of the RDTL Constitution defines a fundamental State Objective "To protect the environment and to preserve natural resources", while Article 61 spells out people's right to a "human, healthy and ecologically balanced environment" and the state's responsibility to "protect the environment." To implement these goals, Timor-Leste has enacted several environmental laws, including a Basic Environment Law (Decree-Law no. 26/2012), a Law on Environmental Licensing (Decree-Law 5/2011), and the Legal Regime for Protection and Conservation of Biodiversity (Decree-Law no. 6/2020), and other regulations listed below. The Environmental licensing law was revised in June 2022 to include climate change and gender issues (Decree-Laws 39-40/2022). Unfortunately, implementation of these laws has been intermittent, with many large public and private projects violating the licensing requirement, and others taking a long time and complicated process. Transparency and consultation are often lacking. La'o Hamutuk has raised these issues publicly many times, including several submissions on draft legislation, Environmental licensing – who needs it? (2014), an open letter to the Provedor (2016), Who should grant environmental licenses for mining and petroleum? (2018) and Lisensiamentu Ambientál – hodi proteje ita hotu (2018) and Without the Enforcement of Environmental Laws, Petroleum Infrastructure Projects in TL Come at a Cost (2019) and a pamphlet Kumpre Lisensamentu Ambientál sei Hamenus Risku ba Ambiente no Komunidade sira nia Moris (Complying with Environmental Licensing will Reduce Risks to the Environment and Communities' Lives, 2020). We also use other media to share information, including our radio program, blog articles, and Surat Popular. For close to a decade, La’o Hamutuk has been building a cooperative relationship with government officials involved in environmental licensing, both at the technical and decision-making levels. We appreciate this collaboration, which have included the exchange of information and ideas. In this spirit of cooperation and promoting a transparent process in Timor-Leste, DNCPIA has provided documents that should be publicly available according to Article 38 of Decree-Law 5/2011, including lists of Licenses issued as of March 2018, as well as Category A projects (those with the most serious impact) and Category B projects whose licensing procedures are in process. In 2018, La’o Hamutuk was asked by DNCPIA (now ANLA) to join their Ad-hoc Committee on Environmental Impact Evaluation, led by the Secretary of State for Environment (SEA) to work on evaluating Category A projects in Timor-Leste. In order to help ANLA overcome their political, technical and personnel limitations, La'o Hamutuk has created this web page to make information and licensing-related documents more widely available to the public, as a sort of unofficial, partial version of the legally-required public "register of environmental assessment procedures ... and related documents." The register below only includes Category A projects, and only the documents we have received, as we are a civil society organization with no power to compel transparency or compliance with the law. Nevertheless, we hope that this will help affected individuals, communities and others know more about the impacts of projects being planned, built or operated in Timor-Leste. During 2019, SEA changed its internal structure, and DNCPIA was divided into the Center for Environmental Information and Education and the National Authority for Environmental Licensing (ANLA). La’o Hamutuk continues to coordinate with Executive Director Antonio Lelo Taci, and we cooperate to receive and distribute information and documents linked to environmental licensing. ANLA became a Public Institute in June 2022 (Decree-Law 41/2022). Unfortunately, almost all of the documents presented by project proponents (TOR, EIS, EMP) are in English only. By law, proponents are to make a summary document available in a locally accessible language; we continue to push for this often overlooked requirement to be upheld. In the table below, we have noted when a document is available in other languages. We encourage our Government leaders to take the process of environmental licensing seriously, to ensure transparency and public consultation, and look forward to our national Environmental Authority having their own website on which this information – including in Tetum - will be available to all and updated on an ongoing basis. In 2023, Timor-Leste began public discussions about a proposed new law on Climate Change. La'o Hamutuk has posted drafts, documents and commentary on this website. We will update this page as we receive new information and documents.  Please send corrections or additions to environment@laohamutuk.org.
