Ropné havárie: vliv na životní prostředí a vývoj environmentální politiky
Pačovský, Jakub
This bachelor thesis deals primarily with oil accidents and the environmental policy associated with them. The aim of the thesis is to analyze oil accidents in terms of causes, consequences and environmental policies. The focus is on policies that try to minimize oil pollution. The partial aim is to analyze and compare these aspects on two specific accidents in the USA: Exxon Valdez and Deepwater Horizon. The first part of the thesis focuses on a general description of the oil industry, to put the issue into context. Next, the thesis comprehensively analyzes oil accidents and established global environmental policies that combat oil pollution. In the second part, the specific aspects are compared within the two mentioned accidents. In these specific examples, the impact of environmental policies is also assessed, according to the evolution of the amount of oil pollution over individual years. In the last part of the paper, the established facts are evaluated, when environmental policies prove to be crucial for combating oil accidents.

Environmental policy instruments in the Czech Republic
Bavšenkov, Sabina ; Stejskal, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Franková, Martina (referee)
Environmental policy instruments in the Czech Republic This thesis deals with environmental policy instruments and related issues. In the introduction I analyze in general what the environment is and what role it plays in our life and its importance for life, then also by short historical excursion and also by the very definition of what is the environment and also the environmental policy itself. A large part is occupied by environmental policy actors that are an integral part of this area, as it would not be possible to carry out environmental policy without them. I divide them into state and non-state, among which the main difference is especially in volunteering. I describe their activities and examples of using individual tools in their performance. An important part is also an insight into the international area in the field of international environmental conferences as well as the European Union action plans. This section presents a brief overview of the development of international conferences on environment and sustainable development. Then, in the European Union, I am analyzing the last seventh action program in detail. Last but not least, it is also the State Environmental Policy of the Czech Republic as an important strategic document defining the further direction of the development of...

Persistent water pollutants: case of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid in the Czech Republic
Prášek, Jan ; Šauer, Petr ; Keprtová, Karolína
Reuse and recycling of products composed of natural matter is relatively without significant environmental problems. However, recycling of products produced using modern synthetic technologies often brings new challenges. Our analysis has shown that substitution of citric acid with artificial substance of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid causes important environmental problems. The case study carried out in the Elbe river basin shows that the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid concentration standard has been exceeded, particularly from confluence of the Vltava and Elbe rivers. Open questions and tasks for future technological development and environmental policies are formulated, particularly the idea to replace artificial substances with nature-based ones. This would enable better introduction of circular economy ideas in the use of resources.

České politické strany a jejich pozice k European Green Deal
Kousalíková, Kristýna
The diploma thesis examines the attitudes of the Czech parliamentary parties to the European Green Deal - a new EU strategy for green growth, which is to make Europe the first climate - neutral continent. The main goal of this work is to identify the way in which parliamentary parties construct the European Green Deal. To fulfill this goal, an analysis of political discourse is performed. The results of the analysis are further embedded in broader environmental discourses, which were defined in the theoretical part of the work. By identifying these general environmental discourses, key assumptions are identified that influence the general way in which the parties view the relationship between society, the economy and the environment. The research revealed the existence of very different ways of constructing the European Green Deal by the Czech parliamentary parties and thus pointed out their different perceptions of the relationship between society, the economy and the environment.

Multilevel governance in environmental policy: a comparative analysis of Republic of Austria and the Federal Republic of Germany
Čuprová, Barbora ; Romancov, Michael (advisor) ; Tesař, Jakub (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to analyse the nature of multi-level governance in climate protection policy in Germany and Austria and to compare the analysed cases. The concept of multilevel governance is used as the theoretical basis of the thesis, the key idea of which is the mutual integration and influence of the levels of governance. Using this concept, the thesis analyses the horizontal and vertical levels of policy making and implementation involving both state and non-state actors. The analysis is carried out through four features of multilevel governance, predefined on the basis of an analysis of the literature, which are: diffusion of competences, non-hierarchical institutional framework, consensus-based decision-making and the principle of partnership. These features are also the dimensions on the basis of which the selected cases are compared. The multi-level governance in the climate protection policy of Germany and Austria is then classified on the basis of the typology of Liesbet Hooghe and Gary Marks. The thesis also includes an analysis of the instruments and policy processes of climate policy in both countries, which will provide insight into the role and influence of the different levels of governance in the formation of policy in the analysed area of governance.
