SUMMARY:

This dissertation analyzes the evolution of environmental licensing legislation in brazilian state of Minas Gerais between 1988 and 2022, correlating changes in the Normative Deliberations (NDs) with environmental disasters that occurred in the state. The research addresses three interconnected timelines: the evolution of the normative deliberations, the environmental disasters, and the decisions of the collegiate bodies responsible for licensing. The study adopts a descriptive and critical approach, based on meeting minutes and analyses of emblematic cases, such as the disasters of Mariana, Brumadinho, and Dique Lisa. The initial structure was organized to present the topics chronologically, facilitating the understanding of the interrelations between events. Thus, the main objective is to understand how legislative changes and collegiate decisions weakened the prevention of environmental disasters. The first chapter analyzes the evolution of the NDs, highlighting changes motivated by disasters such as Mariana and Brumadinho, while the second chapter investigates the failures in the preventive nature of environmental licensing, evidenced by the three disasters studied. The third chapter examines the minutes of the CMI and CNR councils, revealing a bias in favor of entrepreneurs due to the composition of the bodies, marked by the presence of representatives from the productive sector and public authorities. It is concluded that the changes in the NDs were reactive to disasters but insufficient to prevent new ones, that environmental licensing failed in its preventive function, and that the collegiate councils suffer from administrative capture, compromising the impartiality of decisions. We highlight the need for structural reform of the councils and greater rigor in environmental licensing. This work is relevant as it contributes to the debate on environmental governance and proposes improvements for disaster prevention in brazilian state of Minas Gerais.
