Event overview
The first in a series of four webinars designed to help EIA practitioners understand and prepare for future challenges will see Josh Fothergill tackle one of the most overlooked areas of EIA: How to plan and write an effective environmental statement?
With the complexity and length of environmental statements becoming a barrier to stakeholder consultation Josh will explore how adapting our approach can deliver significant improvements.
He will look at how to consider an Environmental Statement’s macro and micro-scale structure, the challenges & benefits of using templates, and how the industry needs to be preparing for the potential of digital EIA. He will also outline tools for honing the focus of any environmental statement to better consider the audience(s) it is aimed at as well as how “organised reasoning” could radically improve how we set develop and present an EIA’s findings.
