MEIO AMBIENTE, DESENVOLVIMENTO E ACCOUNTABILITY: A responsividade, pelo Estado Brasileiro, em matéria ambiental.

Abstract

Comment research focuses on environment, development and accountability: responsiveness of Brazil on environmental issues. The environmental theme won a new tonic from the years 70, and is being treated now with unmatched relevance on the international scene, and also at the national. The accelerated and indiscriminate use of natural resources, the irresponsible use of them, as well as the lack of accountability, transparency and information society has been the subject of relevant studies and notes by organized sectors, and States, in order to change this scenario, imputing to the man (individual, group, business, anyway, the State itself) that is pertinent, and the duty to ensure that the environment in which he lives, responsibly, and to answer for the actions derived from the decisions of power, supporting institutions that promote mass awareness about the environment and its preservation, and strengthening the organs to promote the defense of man and nature, creating for that control mechanisms and halting (preventive and repressive) harmful actions that make far sought sustainable development. In short, the study on the agenda seeks to answer, or at least examine the question of responsibility and responsiveness, especially the brazilian, on environmental issues, pointing to existing mechanisms for this purpose, existing treaties, conventions and protocols, and the internal control unit (legal and administrative), such as the public civil actions. The methodology used was bibliographical research, together with the deductive method of analysis, as the study and observation of situations, rules, events and doctrinal positions led to the conclusions adopted in this essay, deepening theoretical and conceptual knowledge about accountability by the State, especially at regional and local level, and responsiveness by State and even private ones.
