Abstract

The project consortium of fifteen research and action institutes joined together across the Americas, to research the most cutting edge laws on environmental impact assessment in North America, Central America, South America, the Andes and the Caribbean, and to test how these laws are being applied for eco-health in specific projects. This document presents a brief survey of best practices related to the integration of health and environmental impact assessment in law and policy, based on examples of how the laws are applied in actual practice on the ground. A best practices survey is a useful tool for policy makers.
