Procedure details

The Free State of Bavaria implements the requirements of the Bavarian Environmental Information Act (BayUIG) and the EU Directive 2003/4/EC on public access to environmental information in a citizen-oriented and efficient manner by consistently using state-of-the-art information technologies. The law stipulates that the public must be actively informed about the state of environmental elements such as air, atmosphere, soil, water, landscape, habitats, etc. and also about environmental factors such as noise, radiation, waste, substances or energy.

The Bavarian Environmental Navigator enables users to obtain information about the environmental situation in Bavaria quickly and easily. Environmental data and information in websites and databases of ministries, governments, districts, cities, municipalities and specialist authorities are recorded using search technology, sorted by topic and displayed in the Umwelt Navigator Bayern both in text form and on maps.

By entering an individual search term, citizens are shown all the environmental data and information recorded. If the user enters their place of residence, they receive a selection of district-related environmental data and information that they can customize. Other users have the option of integrating the Environmental Navigator with specific location data as a widget on their own website.

The Bavarian Environmental Navigator is operated and maintained by the Bavarian State Ministry for the Environment and Consumer Protection.
