Coadunar a proteção do meio ambiente com a necessidade de promover o desenvolvimento econômico tem se mostrado uma tarefa árdua. Seguindo a prescrição constitucional, o artigo discute a gestão ambiental em Minas Gerais, tendo em perspectiva o desastre ambiental provocado pelo rompimento, em 2015, da Barragem de Rejeitos do Fundão, localizada em Mariana/MG. Para a consecução desse objetivo, são abordados a sistemática de licenciamento ambiental adotada no país, que está no cerne da Política Nacional de Meio Ambiente (PNUMA), as principais características da estrutura e da atuação do sistema de gestão ambiental mineiro, com ênfase no monitoramento de barragens, e aspectos relevantes concernentes aos processos de licenciamento e controle da referida barragem, construída e operada pela Samarco Mineração S.A. As considerações finais reafirmam a importância da regulação ambiental no tocante à promoção do desenvolvimento sustentável e da existência de uma adequada capacidade estatal para sua aplicação.Universidade Estadual de Londrina2018-08-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos Paresapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/direitopub/article/view/3037210.5433/1980-511X.2018v13n2p230Revista do Direito Público; v. 13 n. 2 (2018); 230-2661980-511Xreponame:Revista do Direito Públicoinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/direitopub/article/view/30372/24159Copyright (c) 2018 Revista do Direito Públicohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCésar, Paulo Sérgio MendesCarneiro, Ricardo2022-09-26T12:07:02Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/30372Revistahttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/direitopubPUBhttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/direitopub/oai||rdpubuel@uel.br1980-511X1980-511Xopendoar:2022-09-26T12:07:02Revista do Direito Público - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false |
