Impact Assessment Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is the process of analyzing the potential environmental impacts of a proposed project, plan or policy before it is approved and implemented. It is an important tool used to ensure that potential negative environmental impacts are identified and mitigated during the planning process. EIA is widely used in a variety of contexts, such as land use planning, infrastructure development, and industries such as mining, energy and manufacturing. It also helps to inform the public of the impacts of a proposed project, as it increases transparency in decision-making. Furthermore, EIA helps identify and minimize negative environmental impacts, protect natural resources, and promote sustainable development.
