COHAB International Workshop on Best Practice in Impact Assessment

Three Keville & O'Sullivan Associates staff members will attend a workshop entitled 'Best Practice in Impact Assessment - Systematic Approaches to Biodiversity in SEA and HIA', to be held in the Galway Radisson SAS Hotel at the end of February. This workshop will form part of a week of international discussions on biodiversity and human wellbeing that are taking place in Galway and centred around the Second International Conference on Health and Biodiversity. The workshop will be convened by the COHAB Initiative Secretariat in association with the International Association for Impact Assessment and the Secretariat to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity.

The workshop will aim to contribute to the development of capacities for biodiversity-inclusive impact assessments, taking into account the specific circumstances in which they should be applied. Speakers will include representatives from the International Association for Impact Assessment, the World Health Organisation and the Wildlife Trust amongst others.
