The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Community provides a forum for thought-provoking, critical conversations around EIA from a science-based perspective. The Community aims to connect and support environmental scientists and practitioners working across a range of specialisms involved in the EIA process and to facilitate meaningful discussion between disciplines on the key issues facing the sector.

The Community champions the ethos of utilising EIA as a tool to support decision-making which leads to better environmental impacts from developments and is focussed on providing environmental professionals involved in EIAs with the knowledge and skills to support this.
