Framework for Environmental Impact Assessment

The Framework for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a structured process used to evaluate the potential environmental effects of proposed projects or activities before they are carried out. It involves identifying, predicting, and assessing impacts on the natural and human environment, such as air quality, water resources, and local communities. Stakeholder input is essential, allowing for public concerns to be considered. The EIA helps decision-makers find ways to minimize negative impacts and promotes sustainable development by ensuring that environmental considerations are integrated into planning and decision-making processes.
