The importance of cumulative impacts for socioeconomic impact assessment and mitigation

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

Abstract We will consider cumulative socioeconomic impacts in environmental impact assessment and mitigation processes. Cumulative impacts from several simultaneous projects are greater than aggregate impacts for projects built in isolation. Impacts of energy facilities provide a baseline for potential cumulative impacts in a number of regions. Case studies illustrate the importance of cumulative impacts, as well as their uneven treatment in the environmental impact statement (EIS) process. Important institutional, legal, and practical considerations associated with cumulative impacts are analyzed, and descriptions are offered of how cumulative impact assessments can be used as tools in decision-making.
