Principles and Best Practices for ESIA Compliance and Enforcement: Requirements, Commitments and Related Permits (Draft)


“EsIA compliance and enforcement principles and best practices: requirements,
commitments and related permits” is a joint project of the International Association for Impact
Assessment (IAIA)’s Governance and Implementation Systems Section and the International
Network for Environmental Compliance and Enforcement (INECE). These reflect professional
consensus best practices identified in over seven webinar presentations and discussions hosted by
these professional networks, workshops at four IAIA Conferences and regional workshops in Asia
and the Americas along with opportunities for widespread review of drafts. It builds upon two
internationally accepted frameworks: IAIA’s environmental and social impact assessment framework
and INECE principles of environmental compliance and enforcement.
