Environmental Assessment Act

The Environmental Assessment Act is a law designed to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of proposed projects, such as buildings, roads, or industrial activities. Before these projects can proceed, the act requires a thorough review that considers effects on air, water, and wildlife, and allows for public input. The goal is to ensure that decision-makers understand the environmental consequences and can take steps to mitigate negative effects. This process supports sustainable development by balancing economic growth with environmental protection.
