Environmental Policy Assessment is a critical regulatory requirement in India for projects that may have significant environmental impacts. This document is mandated under various Indian environmental laws, particularly the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, and the Environmental Impact Assessment Notification, 2006. It serves as a comprehensive evaluation tool that examines potential environmental consequences of proposed activities, ensuring compliance with national environmental standards and sustainable development goals. The assessment typically includes baseline environmental studies, impact prediction, mitigation planning, and environmental management strategies. It is required for obtaining environmental clearances from regulatory authorities and must be prepared by accredited environmental consultants registered with the Quality Council of India or National Accreditation Board for Education and Training.
