Written to help practitioners and decision-makers apply best professional practices in the development of EIAs, Environmental Impact Assessment: A Guide to Best Professional Practices provides an in depth, yet practical direction for developing a defensible analysis that meets best professional practices.<br/><br/>The book describes preparation of five distinct types of assessments:<br/><br/>Cumulative Impact Assessment (CIA)<br/>Preparing Greenhouse Emission Assessments<br/>Preparing Risk Assessments and Accident Analyses<br/>Social Impact Assessment (SIA) and Environmental Justice<br/>The International Environmental Impact Assessment Process Guiding Principles<br/>To date, there is significant variation and disagreement about how such analyses should be prepared.
