Environmental Impact Assessments

Environmental Impact Assessments, Sustainability Appraisals and Strategic Environmental Impact Assessments are generally accepted international mechanisms for assessing the potential environmental impacts from proposed changes to land-use and to tackle environmental, economic and social issues in an integrated way.
