Environmental administration (Ministry of Water and Forests, Environment and Climate)
Overview
This entry covers the environmental services, which now sit within the Ministry of Water and Forests, Environment and Climate, in charge of Human-Wildlife Conflict, according to the list of ministries published on the government portal. For an investor, the environmental administration mainly steps in before industrial, mining or infrastructure projects: law No. 007/2014 of 1 August 2014 on environmental protection governs impact assessment, and the procedure for a mining exploitation permit includes an impact study step submitted to this administration. The internal organisation, directorate by directorate, could not be checked on an accessible official page, so investors should contact the ministry to identify the relevant department. No separate contact details are published here.
