Digital EIA - A case study on a major infrastructure project

This webinar, organised by the EIA Community, will present a case study of a Digital EIA approach, demonstrating how environmental information can be managed as a connected asset rather than simply as static reports. We will explore the evolution from spreadsheet-based processes to a bespoke Impact Assessment Database and show how digitising impact assessment information can improve consistency, accessibility, transparency, and collaboration across EIA project teams.

The presentation will highlight the insights and outputs that can be generated from structured EIA data, including reporting, dashboards, metrics, and web-based applications. We will reflect on the benefits and challenges of implementing a Digital EIA approach and consider future opportunities, including enhanced reporting, data integration, automation, and the creation of more dynamic and accessible environmental information systems.

This webinar is free and open to all.
