The CISDL Americas Eco-Health Assessment Law research project seeks to identify, analyse and reduce health and environment risks from economic integration for the communities and ecosystems of the Americas, by facilitating the integration of health and environment issues in assessment laws and policies of the Americas.
The research project is being carried out through three inter-related streams, responding to the project’s core objectives:
| 1 |
First, through joint multi-disciplinary field research and information exchange, to investigate and analyse case studies on how health and environment impact assessment laws and policies are functioning in practice, and identify elements of integrated eco-health assessment methods and laws.

| 2 |
Second, through joint capacity building and awareness-raising workshops, to build awareness, expertise and knowledge in sub-regions and countries of the Americas on health and environment impact assessment methods and laws. [more 2] |
| 3 |
Third, to provide recommendations to hemispheric policy-makers, through side events at Americas Health and Environment Ministerials, Americas Trade Ministerials, and other upcoming opportunities for consultation with policy makers related to the Summit of the Americas process. [more 3] |
