What is environmental assessment?
The phrase gets tossed around a lot these days, particularly over major natural resource projects.
Bram Noble, an expert on how to better engage Canadians through the environmental assessment process, answers that question in a new video for the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.
The video is the second part in a series aimed at providing Canadians with thought leadership on the future of engaging with Canadians on the major natural resource projects integral to the country’s future.
Noble explores:
- When the environmental assessment process happens
- Who is involved
- How governments, businesses and communities work together on EAs
The video features Noble in conversation with MLI Munk Senior Fellow Ken Coates, a thought leader on Indigenous engagement in Canada.
Earlier this year Noble authored a paper for MLI on how to reform the environmental assessment process so it works better for Indigenous peoples, businesses and governments.
