The aim of Environmental Assessment is to equip decision-makers with the information necessary to preserve World Heritage sites for future generations. Effective integration of World Heritage sites in these processes is critical to ensuring that the potential adverse impacts of development proposals on a site’s Outstanding Universal Value, and alternatives to these proposals, are fully considered in decision-making.
