Environmental Assessment Watch

EaP CSF RE-GRANTING 2018

Environmental Assessment Watch (Implementation of SEA and EIA: civil society monitors the situation in countries)

Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEA) and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) legislations are listed among key priorities in programing document  ”Eastern Partnership - 20 deliverables for 2020”. It is an ambitious task to implement them in accordance to EU directives and standards, in compliance with relevant Conventions (Espoo Convention and the SEA Protocol, Aarhus Convention), and make them applicable across all sectors. Both assessments provide procedural requirements for assessments of the impacts on environment from one procedure (SEA) on the plans and programs and form another procedure (EIA) on economical planned projects, and thus contributing to better governance for sustainable development.

AA countries (Ukraine and Moldova) and non-AA (Belarus) countries have very different conditions, which may be compared and analyzed for further developing of environmental human rights and environmental democracy. The project investigates the situation in three EaP countries and in one EU country - Bulgaria, collecting good and bad examples and making them known at international level. Our experts learn from each other to find out the best solutions for monitoring implementation process and make it as visible for civil society as possible. We create a model system for civil society monitoring of SEA and EIA (Environmental Assessments Watch) and share this experience to other EaP countries.
