Let’s talk: cumulative effects assessment in EIA

21st November 2019


Cumulative effects assessment in EIA considers the potentially significant environmental effects of a proposal together with those of other existing and approved projects. However, currently there is no clear, commonly agreed and replicable approach to cumulative effects assessment within the EIA community. This webinar gives you the opportunity to hear from leading EIA experts as they discuss the challenges and opportunities for cumulative effects in a facilitated, panel-based format. This was also followed by a Q&A session with the panel.
