The Department of Territory is hosting the plenary of REDIA, the Network of Environmental Inspection of Autonomous Communities, in Barcelona on November 5th and 6th, bringing together the main environmental inspection officials from across the State.

The plenary will address key challenges such as the digitalization of monitoring systems, harmonization of inspection criteria, modernization of administration, and the use of data to enhance environmental control. Best practices will also be shared to strengthen public action effectiveness.
Environmental inspection is an essential public function for verifying industrial activities' compliance with regulations, preventing pollution, and protecting resources like air, water, soil, and biodiversity, ensuring legal certainty for businesses and public trust.
In a context of ecological transition, decarbonization, and climate change, inter-administrative cooperation is crucial. REDIA has become the primary platform for technical cooperation in environmental inspection in Spain, fostering knowledge exchange and common criteria for a more uniform application of environmental legislation.
