Cumulative Impact Analysis

Cumulative Impact Analysis is a method used to assess the combined effects of multiple projects, activities, or environmental factors on a specific area or population over time. Rather than looking at each project in isolation, this analysis considers how they interact and contribute to overall impacts, such as environmental degradation, social changes, or economic shifts. By understanding these cumulative effects, decision-makers can better evaluate risks, make informed choices, and implement measures to mitigate negative consequences, ensuring sustainable development and improved quality of life for affected communities.
