Course Overview
Infrastructure projects—such as highways, airports, power plants, and water networks—play a vital role in economic development and societal progress.
However, without proper environmental oversight, these projects can lead to significant ecological degradation, resource depletion, and public health risks.
This five-day workshop, titled “Environmental Impact Assessment of Infrastructure Projects”, is designed to equip professionals with the knowledge, tools, and methodologies needed to evaluate and mitigate the environmental consequences of large-scale development.
