Aplicabilidade do licenciamento ambiental no Brasil:Uma visão juridica e comporativa entre os desastres ambientais de Mariana- MG e Brumadinho-MG s

Abstract

With the rapid advance in the growth of society combined with an industrial/business expansion in Brazil, there was a certain need regarding the adoption of measures that can contribute to the sustainable development of the country, making socioeconomic development compatible with environmental protection. In this bias, environmental licensing arises: it is an administrative process that enables the legal execution of activities that demand the use of environmental resources, considered effectively or potentially polluting. Instituted by the National Environmental Policy, environmental licensing, as an interdisciplinary matter of Environmental Law and Administrative Law, will be approached here from a legal perspective in which its normative disposition, importance, and application are permeated, developed through the bibliographical review method. Finally, a brief comparative analysis of the situation of this legal provision during the occurrence of two major environmental disasters in Brazil occurred in Mariana and Brumadinho, both cities in Minas Gerais, and its legal impact.
