Synopsis

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is among the most consistent and influential aspects of environmental regulation and policy. As a system, approach, and practice, EIA has evolved in significant ways over the last few decades. The Canadian setting is particularly representative of the influence of EIA. This text, designed for introductory courses in EIA offered in departments of geography and environmental studies, examines EIA in the current Canadian context. This first part of the book covers various aspects of EIA, while the second half showcases the differing provincial regulatory environments.
