Impact Assessment
DamImage © Jeremy Barker
CBBIA participants contributed case studies to development of the CBD voluntary guidelines on biodiversity-inclusive impact assessment. The guidance and case studies are available for download from the CBD website: http://www.biodiv.org/doc/meeting.asp?lg=0&mtg=cop-08; document number 44.
The CBD Executive Secretary requested information and examples relating to incorporation of impact assessment processes in protected areas (Decision VII/28; goal 1.5) taking into account the ecoystem approach (as developed by the CBD under decisions V/6 and VII/11). CBBIA submitted its Protected Area Project Summary Report to the CBD in response to this request.
