Americas Eco-Health Assessment Law Project:
The CISDL, in partnership with seven other research institutes from across the Americas, has embarked on a hemispheric partnership to evaluate and strengthen health and environmental impact assessment laws and policies. This innovative international law research project, with support from the International Development Research Centre [www.idrc.ca], builds on, monitors and analyses existing experiences with impact assessment law and policy in the Americas. The research partnership is refining and developing a new tool for communities and authorities – integrated health and ecological impact assessment law. Results are being made available to policy-makers, in the interest of protecting eco-health objectives and priorities in the Americas integration process.
