Stakeholder Engagement Strategies in Environmental Impact Assessments

Abstract

This research looks into the significance of actively involving stakeholders in Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) within the framework of its processes. It seeks to identify approaches to public involvement, consultations, and collaboration in EIA and evaluate their impacts on the decisions made and the realizable project results. Through [briefly mention methodology, e.g., systematic literature review, case study analysis], this research indicates that more direct, all-inclusive, and transparent engagement improves the legitimacy, efficacy, and sustainability of the processes within EIAs. The outcomes of the study highlight the need for different stakeholder engagement approaches to adequately attend to the local environment and the multifaceted demands from different stakeholders. This study is helpful for policy issuers, practitioners, and project initiators who wish to change the effectiveness of EIA towards enhancing sustainable development outcomes.
