The document discusses environmental impact assessments (EIAs), which evaluate the environmental impacts of proposed projects, including socio-economic and human health effects. EIAs aim to make projects environmentally sound, obtain approval, reduce harm, and ensure international acceptance. They focus on key issues, involve stakeholders, facilitate decision making, and consider mitigation options. EIAs are an important environmental planning tool conducted before starting certain mandatory projects and throughout their life cycles from concept to monitoring.
