Top Strategies for Environmental Impact Assessment: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction to Environmental Impact Assessment

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process of evaluating the likely environmental impacts of a proposed project or development, taking into account inter-related socio-economic, cultural and human-health impacts. It is a crucial aspect of strategic environmental planning.

Importance of EIA

EIA provides a way to identify potential environmental impacts of a proposed project, predict possible environmental outcomes, and provide mitigation strategies.

Steps in EIA

• Screening: The process to determine whether or not EIA is required for a particular project.
• Scoping: This step determines the content and extent of the matters that should be covered in the EIA report.
• Impact Analysis: This step identifies and evaluates the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project.
