Environment Impact Assessment (EIA)

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process used to evaluate the potential effects of a proposed project or development on the environment. It involves identifying possible impacts on air, water, land, wildlife, and local communities. The goal is to ensure that decision-makers consider environmental factors before proceeding. The EIA process typically includes public participation and aims to promote sustainable development by mitigating negative effects and enhancing positive outcomes. Ultimately, it helps balance economic growth with environmental protection for the benefit of current and future generations.
