Environmental Assessments (EAs)
Environmental Assessments (EAs) are systematic processes used to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of proposed projects or actions. They help decision-makers understand how a project might affect the surrounding environment, including air, water, land, and wildlife. By identifying potential negative effects early on, EAs aim to guide modifications or alternative solutions that minimize harm and promote sustainability. Ultimately, they serve as a tool to ensure that environmental considerations are integrated into planning and development, fostering a balance between progress and ecological health.
