Abstract

Sustainable development is more important than ever in a world where environmental issues like deforestation and climate change are causing problems. Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) are critical in protecting the environment while facilitating economic progress. EIAs are an organised procedure that assesses the possible environmental impacts of proposed projects or policies, ensuring that development activities are sustainable and in line with ecological preservation. EIAs are a valuable tool for decision-makers because they detect, forecast and mitigate negative consequences, allowing them to reconcile human demands with environmental stewardship. In recent years, there has been a notable increase in interest in environmental concerns, particularly sustainability and improved development management in line with the environment. Environmental protection and sustainable development have long been essential to India's economic and developmental policies and practices. The ultimate purpose of an EIA is to promote responsible development that satisfies current requirements without jeopardising future generations' capacity to thrive, therefore contributing to a sustainable future.
