Introduction
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a critical planning and decision-making tool used to identify, predict, and evaluate the potential environmental effects of proposed projects before implementation. It plays a vital role in ensuring that development activities are environmentally responsible, socially acceptable, and aligned with sustainability objectives.
This course provides a comprehensive and practical understanding of the Environmental Impact Assessment process. Participants will learn how environmental risks are identified, analyzed, and managed, and how environmental considerations are systematically integrated into project planning and approval processes.
