Climate Impact Assessment
Climate Impact Assessment (CIA) is a process used to evaluate how a proposed project or policy may affect the climate and be affected by climate change. It involves analyzing factors like greenhouse gas emissions, changes in land use, and potential impacts on ecosystems and communities. By identifying these effects, decision-makers can implement strategies to minimize negative impacts and enhance resilience. This assessment helps ensure that development plans align with environmental sustainability and climate goals, fostering a balance between economic growth and ecological protection.
