Resumen
Descripción
Myanmar has relied heavily on natural resource exploitation to sustain economic growth, and
serious environmental issues are emerging, underlining the importance of transparent and robust
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) system. There are growing concerns around the impacts
of the large-scale development, including deforestation, depletion of inland and coastal fisheries,
land degradation, flooding and landslides, biodiversity loss, and the deterioration of water and air
quality. A functioning EIA system is critical in identifying and managing the potential impacts of large-scale development and striking the balance between economic development, environmental conservation, and social inclusion.
