Korean Environmental Law
Korean Environmental Law encompasses a range of regulations aimed at protecting the environment in the Republic of Korea. Key legislation includes the Framework Act on Environmental Policy, which sets the foundation for environmental governance, and the Air Quality Control Act, which addresses air pollution. These laws are designed to promote sustainable development and ensure public health.
The enforcement of these laws is managed by various government agencies, including the Ministry of Environment. Additionally, the Environmental Impact Assessment Act requires assessments for projects that may significantly affect the environment, ensuring that potential impacts are considered before development begins.
