The National Environmental Supervision Authority will be established

A new national environmental authority, the National Living Environment Supervision Authority, will be established in Hungary, effective January 1, 2027. This authority will focus on various environmental responsibilities, including waste management, nature conservation, and climate protection. It will take over functions from several existing governmental bodies and will have nationwide jurisdiction over battery production and waste management. Additionally, local environmental supervision authorities will be created in every county and in Budapest, with the head appointed by the relevant minister.
