Guidelines for Environmental Assessment

Guidelines for Environmental Assessment provide a structured process to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of a proposed project before it starts. They help identify possible effects on air, water, land, wildlife, and communities, ensuring that decision-makers consider environmental factors alongside economic and social interests. The process involves collecting information, analyzing impacts, and suggesting ways to avoid or minimize harm. These guidelines promote sustainable development by helping project planners make informed choices that protect natural resources and public health, ensuring projects are environmentally responsible and compliant with legal requirements.
