​What Is an Environmental Impact Assessment?

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a formal study conducted to evaluate the potential environmental consequences of a proposed development or project. It is a vital step in responsible planning and ensures that environmental considerations are integrated into the decision-making process.
