NEW IEMA Guidance: Implementing the Mitigation Hierarchy from Concept to Construction – August 2024

IEMA has launched new ‘Implementing the Mitigation Hierarchy from Concept to Construction’ guidelines to help their members integrate environmental and social considerations into the design of projects.

Experienced impact assessment practitioners know the value of integrating environmental and social considerations into the design of projects to seek and identify opportunities for positive outcomes, enhancements and beneficial effects, as well as identify and seek ways to avoid or mitigate negative and harmful effects.

This publication provides much needed guidance on how to properly implement the mitigation hierarchy from the earliest stages of a project, and how to maintain and communicate the mitigation measures across the pre-consent assessment phase into the crucial construction phase.

IEMA members can download their FREE copy of Implementing the Mitigation Hierarchy from Concept to Construction here

Non-IEMA members can purchase the document from the online shop (under ‘EIA Guidance’)
