The key instruments of environmental protection are strategic assessments of the impact of plans/programmes on the environment and nature (carried out at the spatial planning phase), further assessment of the impact of projects on the environment and nature (usually carried out together with the building permit procedure), operation of individual facilities (determines the extent of permitted pollution). Most legal practices consist of administrative procedures, as it is necessary to protect the environment and nature from harmful interventions at the earliest stage of their implementation. Civil proceedings, consistent and engaged inspections, as well as criminal prosecution, are possible against polluters. There is also a special process for identifying and repairing environmental damage. The constitutionality and legality of individual regulations are assessed by the Constitutional Court most often due to violations of ratified conventions or EU directives. The ombudsman also plays a special role in protecting the environment. The article is intended primarily for lawyers/legal practitioners for more effective use of legal remedies in the field of environmental protection, spatial planning and construction permits, as well as to familiarise others with the mechanisms of legal protection of the environmentPrispevek predstavlja, kdo in kako lahko zastopa glas okolja in narave v upravnih in sodnih postopkih ter kako je mogoče varovati ustavno pravico do zdravega življenjskega okolja s primeri iz prakse. Ključni instrumenti varovanja okolja so strateške presoje vplivov planov oziroma programov na okolje in naravo (izvajajo se že v fazi prostorskega načrtovanja), presoje vplivov projektov oziroma posegov na okolje in naravo (praviloma se izvaja skupaj s postopkom gradbenega dovoljenja) ter končno dovoljevanje obratovanja posameznih objektov (določa obseg dovoljenega onesnaževanja). Večino pravne prakse sestavljajo upravni postopki, saj je treba okolje in naravo varovati pred škodljivimi posegi v najzgodnejši fazi dovoljevanja teh posegov. Zoper onesnaževalce so možni civilni postopki, dosleden in angažiran inšpekcijski nadzor ter tudi kazenski pregon. Za povzročitelje škode je določen poseben postopek ugotavljanja in sanacije okoljske škode. Ustavnost in zakonitost posameznih predpisov presoja Ustavno sodišče, najpogosteje zaradi kršitev ratificiranih konvencij ali EU-direktiv. Posebno vlogo pri varstvu okolja ima tudi varuh človekovih pravic. Prispevek je namenjen predvsem odvetnikom in pravnikom praktikom za učinkovitejšo uporabo pravnih sredstev na področju varstva okolja, narave, prostorskega načrtovanja in dovoljevanja graditve, pa tudi drugim, da jim postane pravno varstvo okolja bolj domačeTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of Slovenia
