Environmental protection

The goal of environmental protection is to ensure a healthy and pleasant environment for residents while preserving the diversity of nature. A good and healthy living environment is a right for all residents, and the municipality should, in turn, ensure this right is upheld.

The primary tasks of environmental protection are administrative duties based on the environmental protection permit and monitoring systems. The activities also include general tasks involving planning, monitoring the state of the environment, and preventive measures.

The environmental inspector manages environmental matters in the municipality.
