Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) can be generally defined as "a comprehensive assessment of the impact of a planned activity on the environment". In essence it is a systematic process that examines the environmental consequences of development actions in advance. The purpose of an EIA is to ensure that the developer considers the ensuing environmental impacts before deciding to proceed with a project proposal.
