Knowledge-sharing Session: Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) work in Lao PDR

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) or Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) related to an environmental permit for a project.

• The purpose is to assess and predict potential adverse impacts on the Environment and society and develop appropriate mitigation measures documented in Environment and Social Management and Monitoring Plan (ESMMP);
• Most countries have adequate legal requirements to ensure proper EIA implementation.

So, more specifically, how is an environmental impact assessment performed? What are the specific criteria for a complete report? Is there any difference between this EIA activity in Vietnam and other countries such as Laos?
