What can UK EIA learn from International Practice
Marking three years of monthly EIA webinars, this QMark webinar looked beyond the UK to explore what UK practice can learn from good practice and approaches from Impact Assessment in the global market place.
The webinar featured presentations from Quality Mark registrants that are actively involved in international EIA practice. It explored differences in international practice, how challenges, such as a lack of baseline data, are overcome and how progress in good practice has been made.
