‘FLEXIBLE’ SYSTEM: Attorneys warn of corruption risks and weaker checks in new environmental impact assessment plan
Environmental law watchdogs are pushing back against government plans to introduce a more ‘flexible’ environmental impact assessment (EIA) process, warning that the proposed changes could weaken public participation, undermine proper assessment and increase the incentives for corruption.
Environmental law experts are raising concerns about a proposed "flexible" system for environmental impact assessments. They argue that the planned changes could significantly reduce public involvement in the review process. Critics also fear that these modifications might lead to less thorough environmental evaluations and create new opportunities for corrupt practices.
These proposed changes could impact the thoroughness of environmental reviews and the public's ability to participate in decisions affecting the environment.
