Natural resources that can be replenished at a rate equal to or greater than its rate of depletion.

Determines whether or not a proposed project requires an EIA and defines the level of assessment required.

Identifies the key issues and impacts that should be further examined within the EIA process.

The process of formulating mitigation strategies and managing the implementation of those strategies to address the impacts identified in an EIA.

A qualitative or quantitative approach to identify and assess the risk of adverse environmental effects.

Establishes the environmental status quo before the project begins, to understand the potential impacts of the proposed project.

The systematic collection of data to assess the performance of mitigation measures and the accuracy of impact predictions.

The involvement of affected and interested parties in the EIA process to solicit their views on the proposed project.

Different ways of achieving the objectives of the proposed action, including location, technology, and project design alternatives.

An environmental effect that is not directly caused by the project itself but may occur later in time or farther away in distance.

A structured, iterative process of robust decision making in the face of uncertainty, with an aim to reducing uncertainty over time via system monitoring.

An element of an organization's activities, products, or services that can interact with the environment and cause significant impact.

A process used to evaluate the environmental effects of a proposed project or development, taking into account inter-related socio-economic, cultural and human-health impacts.

The process of shutting down operations of the project once the productive life is over and restoring the site.

An area that is prone to ecological disturbances, or valuable due to a rare ecosystem, threatened species, or other notable environmental features.

A document prepared to describe the positive and negative environmental effects of proposed actions, and alternatives to those actions.

The principle of defining the social and environmental topics that matter most to a business and its stakeholders, which should be included in the EIA.

The baseline scenario against which a proposed project's impacts are compared, representing the consequences of not proceeding with the project.

The process of checking, reviewing, and acting upon the outcomes of an EIA after project implementation for environmental compliance.

Estimates the likely environmental effects of the proposed project, both beneficial and adverse.

A systematic decision support process, aiming to ensure that environmental and possibly other sustainability aspects are considered effectively in policy, plan and programme making.

The comprehensive examination of a product's environmental and health impacts throughout its lifetime, from extraction of raw materials to disposal.

The most effective and advanced stage in the development of activities and their methods of operation for preventing or minimizing emissions and impacts on the environment.

A determination of the importance or severity of impacts resulting from proposed actions or developments as assessed in the EIA.

The combined effect of the proposed project's impact with impacts from other existing, planned, or reasonably foreseeable actions.

Principles and intentions set by organizations or governments to guide decision-making relating to the environmental impacts of projects, plans and programs.

The approvals and permits from regulatory agencies confirming that a proposed project meets the necessary environmental standards and regulations.

An environmental effect that is caused by a project and occurs at the same time and place as the project itself.

The effects of a project on the social and economic aspects of the human environment, such as community, lifestyle, and local economy.

Environmental impacts of a project that extend across the borders of neighboring countries, necessitating international collaboration for the EIA process.

Strategies and actions proposed to avoid, reduce, or compensate for negative environmental impacts of a project.

An evaluation of the combined effects of past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects or actions on the environment.

A priority sequence for mitigating impacts on biodiversity, usually shown as: Avoidance, Minimization, Rehabilitation/Restoration, and as a last resort, Offset/Compensation.
