+ <div class="storycontent">
+ <p>EIA is one of a number of policy tools that are used to evaluate
+project proposals. It is also a relatively recent development when
+compared to use of economic appraisal methods. A number of factors led
+to the introduction of EIA in the US National Environmental Policy Act
+(NEPA, 1969), including public concern about the quality of the
+environment and the increasing effects of new technologies and
+ever-larger development schemes. In addition, then available economic
+appraisal techniques, such as benefit cost analysis, did not take
+account of the environmental and social impacts of major projects.
+</p>
+<p>The architects of NEPA intended the environmental impact statement to
+ be the ‘action-forcing’ mechanism, which would change the way
+government decisions were made in the USA. However, they probably did
+not foresee the extent to which EIA would be adopted internationally,
+culminating in Principle 17 of the Rio Declaration on Environment and
+Development. Today, EIA is applied in more than 100 countries, and by
+all development banks and most international aid agencies. EIA has also
+evolved significantly, driven by improvements in law, procedure and
+methodology. Major trends in EIA process development are summarised in
+table below. Except for the early pioneers, the phases and timescales
+identified in the table below do not necessarily correspond to the
+development of EIA in particular countries. In all countries more
+strategic, sustainability- based approaches are still at a relatively
+early stage.

+<p>To date, EIA has been applied primarily at the project-level. This
+‘first generation’ process is now complemented by SEA of policies,
+plans and programmes, and both EIA and SEA are being adapted to bring a
+greater measure of ‘sustainability assurance’ to development
+decision making. These trends have brought new perspectives on what
+constitutes EIA good practice and effective performance.
+</p>
+<p>Recently, a number of reviews of these issues have been undertaken,
+including the International Study of the Effectiveness of Environmental
+Assessment (see Section A). It described basic and operational
+principles for the main steps and activities undertaken in the EIA
+process. The International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA) and
+the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) have
+drawn on these to prepare a statement of <a title="EIA Best Practice Principles" target="_blank" href="http://eia.unu.edu/wiki/index.php/EIA_Best_Practice">EIA Best Practice</a> (see EIA Wiki) for reference and use by their members <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"></span>. The Effectiveness Study identified three core values on which the EIA process is based:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>integrity– the EIA process should meet internationally accepted requirements and standards of practice;
+ </li>
+<li>utility– the EIA process should provide the information which is sufficient and relevant for decision-making; and
+ </li>
+<li>sustainability– the EIA process should result in the
+implementation of environmental safeguards which are sufficient to
+mitigate serious adverse effects and avoid irreversible loss of resource
+ and ecosystem functions.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+<p>Basic or guiding principles of EIA good practice are listed in the
+table below. These are applicable to all types of proposals and by all
+EIA systems. When applying or referring to them, it is important to
+consider the principles as a single package, recognising their varying
+interrelationships. For example, some principles overlap (e.g.,
+transparent and participative); others may be counteracting if
+considered without reference to the broader framework (e.g. rigour and
+efficiency). The principles should be applied as part of a systematic
+and balanced approach, having regard to the context and circumstances.

+<p>Operating principles describe how the basic principles of EIA good practice should be implemented. The <a title="EIA Operating Principles" target="_blank" href="http://eia.unu.edu/wiki/index.php/EIA_Operating_Principles">EIA Operating Principles</a>
+ (see EIA Wiki) provide initial guidance on how to undertake EIA and
+what results practitioners should aim to deliver. When applying these
+operating principles, reference should be made to the framework of EIA
+legislation, procedure and guidance that is in force in a country or
+jurisdiction. In certain countries, the relatively early stage of EIA
+process development or limited resources may constrain the application
+of some of the operating principles. </p>
