A Our Knowledge Publishing A comparative study of some environmental assessment methods Paperback

Oil projects generally have an impact on the environment. It is therefore important to identify, assess and propose mitigation measures. For this reason, an environmental impact assessment is a mandatory requirement prior to the implementation of such projects. The aim of an environmental impact assessment is to provide information on the effects, risks and consequences for the environment arising from development options and proposals, and thereby to facilitate appropriate and integrated decision-making in which environmental considerations are explicitly taken into account.
