About the course.
Several high-profile rulings have shown the difficulties of obtaining a permit under the Environmental Code (miljöbalken), shedding light on the rules on environmental assessments, environmental impact assessments (MKB) and the importance of a correctly conducted consultation procedure. During this course we go through the requirements that apply to a specific environmental assessment and MKB in relation to issues such as Natura 2000, areas of national interest, species protection and the rules on environmental quality standards.
The course gives you knowledge of the different stages of a permit process under the Environmental Code, what you yourself can keep in mind when carrying out a permit review, and the various pitfalls that exist.
We mix theory with practical examples.
