Environmental Impact Assessment for Developing Countries in Asia

COMMENTARY 

This report describes some of the special challenges of implementing environmental impact assessments (EIAs) effectively in Asia. It is prepared by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), a financing source for many large-scale infrastructure projects across the continent.

The authors review the difficult balance involved in meeting the urgent development needs of Asian countries with large populations living in poverty while at the same time avoiding the environmental damage associated with rapid and unplanned growth. The authors point out that environmental problems such as deforestation, groundwater exploitation, land erosion, water pollution, and uncontrolled urban expansion can exacerbate poverty while at the same time occur as a byproduct of valuable economic development.

The report describes the various types of planning at the national, regional, sectoral, and project level that can help to avoid excessive environmental damage. EIA is designed for use at the project level, but in cases where wider development plans do not already exist, an EIA may have to confront larger scale trends and impacts. This is a challenge for an analyst using a tool that has a hard time taking account of ‘cumulative effects’ of a project beyond the narrow geographic boundary of an EIA study.

The authors highlight the frequent lack of sufficient baseline data upon which to model project impacts and inadequate resources for monitoring implementation as two of the perennial problems that make it hard to conduct EIAs in Asia.

Despite these challenges, a growing number of national laws call for including EIA in Asian project planning efforts. EIA is also a requirement for anyone seeking access to financing for infrastructure projects from international donors, such as the ADB.

Reflection questions:

1.   Where does responsibility lie for addressing the obstacles to effective EIA implementation in Asia identified in this report? National governments? International donors? Civil society?

2.   How do you react to the authors’ presentation of these challenges? Do they seem like a fair representation of the difficulties that most countries in the region face?
