ENVIRONMENTAL LICENSING BY ADHESION AND COMMITMENT (LAC) UNDER THE THE PERSPECTIVE OF CIVIL LAW: ANALYSIS OF LEGAL AND INSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGES INSTITUTIONAL

Abstract

Environmental licensing is an essential tool to minimize the environmental impacts of economic activities, but society and companies must also take responsibility for adopting more sustainable practices. In view of these legal and institutional challenges, this article aims to analyze in more detail the Environmental Licensing by Adhesion and Commitment (LAC) from the perspective of Civil Law. Aspects such as its regulation, the obligations and responsibilities of the entrepreneur, the participation of the Public Prosecutor's Office and other bodies involved in the licensing process, among other relevant topics, will be addressed. In this context, the importance of constantly improving environmental protection instruments was highlighted, in order to guarantee the preservation of natural resources and the sustainable development of economic activities. In this sense, LAC can be an interesting and effective alternative, provided that it is regulated in a clear and transparent manner, and implemented with environmental responsibility and commitment.
