Since the 1980s, and especially since the Rio Earth Summit in 1992,there has been a substantial extension in the adoption and use ofEnvironmental Assessment (EA) procedures in developing countriesand countries in transition (low and middle income countries).However, few existing texts in environmental assessment ordevelopment studies have reflected this trend sufficiently, untilthis publication.
Divided into two main parts:
* EA Principles, Processes and Practice.
* Country and Institutional Studies of EA Procedures and Practice.
This book explains the essentials of environmental impactassociation in the context of developing countries and assesses itsimportance to both developed and developing countries.
