English: Integrated environmental assessment

Glossary Element  Integrated environmental assessment

Integrated environmental assessment is a domain that analyses the cause-effect links of human and natural action on the environment, and in turn, the resultant environmental changes in the state of the environment and human well-being. It integrates social, economic and environmental issues in the analyses. Integrated environmental assessments aim not only to provide an overview of the state of the environment but also to give decision makers guidance on how to better govern the environment.
