Risk-Based Environmental Assessment Overview
Risk-Based Environmental Assessment involves evaluating physical, financial, social, political, legal, safety, health, and environmental risks to address potential impacts on the environment. This assessment includes identifying, managing, and mitigating risks and impacts associated with various sectors such as agriculture, mining, energy, water, land use, climate, geology, and seismic hazards among others.
