Environmental impact considerations

Environmental impact considerations involve assessing how actions, projects, or activities affect the natural world. This includes understanding effects on ecosystems, wildlife, air and water quality, and climate change. The goal is to minimize negative consequences and promote sustainability by planning responsibly—such as reducing pollution, conserving resources, and protecting habitats. Considering these impacts helps ensure that development meets current needs without compromising the environment’s ability to support future generations. It’s a way of making informed decisions that balance economic, social, and ecological health.
