környezetjog

Környezetjog, also known as environmental law, is a body of law that governs human interaction with the environment. It seeks to protect the natural world from the harmful effects of human activities and to promote sustainable development. Környezetjog encompasses a wide range of legal principles, regulations, and agreements designed to address issues such as pollution, resource depletion, biodiversity loss, and climate change.

The scope of környezetjog is broad, covering areas like air and water quality standards, waste management, hazardous substance control, land use planning, and the protection of natural habitats and species. It can be applied at international, national, and local levels, with different jurisdictions developing their own specific environmental legislation. Enforcement mechanisms, including penalties for non-compliance and legal remedies for environmental damage, are also integral to the field. The ultimate goal of környezetjog is to ensure a healthy and sustainable environment for present and future generations.
