RT null T1 Module 1 – Introduction to Environmental Assessment A1 United Nations Environment Programme, YR 2010 FD 2010 LK https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/20851 UL https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/20851 NO Environmental assessment has come into its own since the 1970s as a key tool in environmental management. While such assessment had been practised in one form or another long before the 1970s, it is perhaps after the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, Stockholm, 1972, that environmental assessment became part of the common lexicon among environmental stakeholders as well as the private sector. Environmental assessments are conducted by various stakeholders and to meet disparate objectives as numerous as the stakeholders themselves. DS UN Environment Document Repository RD Sep 19, 2026
