Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA): A comprehensive study used to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of a proposed development or project. EIA looks at many different factors, including air and water quality, land use, biodiversity, and habitat destruction. It is essential in ensuring that any project does not bring about unacceptable levels of damage to the environment. Such assessments are conducted on a local, regional, or national level and involve gathering detailed information from stakeholders, experts, and the public. By pursuing an EIA, we can ensure that our actions do not come at the expense of our planet.
