This assessment helps to identify potential environmental risks and develop strategies to mitigate or minimize these impacts. It considers factors such as air and water quality, biodiversity, land use, and social impacts on communities. Environmental assessment is a key tool in decision-making processes to ensure sustainable development and protect the environment for future generations.
