ADMINISTRATIVE COMPETENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL MATTER: SUPERVISION

Abstract

Administrative competence in environmental matters refers to the set of powers and responsibilities that a government entity or government agency has to manage, regulate and enforce laws and regulations related to the environment in a specific jurisdiction. Administrative competence in environmental matters is fundamental for the protection and preservation of natural resources and the promotion of sustainable development. Based on this, this study aimed to analyze the common competence which attributes to all federative entities the duty to protect the environment, in order to resolve issues regarding the impasse in environmental administration separately by the Union, States, District Federal and Municipalities. In methodology, it was a bibliographic review, based on selected scientific studies and jurisprudence, whose time frame was between 2018 and 2023 found in databases such as Scielo and Google Scholar. In the results, it was evident that it is important that there be special care in the exercise of constitutional powers so that there is no overrun in the areas corresponding to each federative entity, and mainly, that there is no omission on the part of the Power operators and gaps in their activities.
