An Environmental Policy Assessment is a critical document required for projects and policies that may have significant environmental impacts in the Philippines. This assessment is mandated under various Philippine environmental regulations, particularly the Environmental Impact Statement System established by Presidential Decree No. 1586. The document serves multiple purposes: it evaluates environmental impacts, ensures compliance with national and local environmental regulations, incorporates stakeholder feedback, and provides recommendations for environmental protection and management. The Environmental Policy Assessment is particularly important in the Philippine context due to the country's rich biodiversity and environmental sensitivity, requiring careful consideration of both ecological and social impacts. It must address specific local environmental challenges while adhering to national environmental protection standards and international best practices.
