Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process to systematically determine, evaluate and manage the environmental impacts of various projects. This process is applied to activities with potentially significant environmental impacts such as large infrastructure and superstructure projects, industrial facilities, energy production plants (thermal, HEPP, GES, RES, GES etc.), mining activities etc.
Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a tool often used in broader decision-making processes such as policies, plans or programs. This process provides a preliminary assessment of decisions that take into account environmental, social and economic factors.
The main purpose of the SEA is to ensure that planned policies, plans or programs are compatible with environmental objectives by assessing environmental impacts in advance. This process aims to integrate environmental sustainability principles, protect natural resources and minimize environmental impacts.
Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) is a process to systematically identify, assess and manage the environmental and social impacts of a project or activity. The process addresses the needs and concerns of various stakeholders, taking into account the social impacts of the project as well as the environmental impacts.
