Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA)

Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) are systematic processes used to evaluate the potential effects of a proposed project, like building a highway or a factory, on the environment. This includes assessing impacts on air quality, water resources, wildlife, and community health. The goal is to identify any negative consequences and suggest ways to mitigate them before the project begins. By considering environmental factors early in planning, EIAs help ensure sustainable development and protect ecosystems, making informed decisions for the benefit of both people and the planet.
