Significant growth in economic activity in the Arctic has added
weight to the argument that projects must be developed responsibly
and sustainably. Addressing growing concerns regarding the
exploitation of the Arctic's natural resources, this timely book
presents and evaluates examples of best practice in Arctic
environmental impact assessment. Timo Koivurova and Pamela Lesser
succinctly synthesise primary data gathered from interviews with
local communities, indigenous peoples, NGOs, government officials
and businesses in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Greenland, Iceland,
Canada, Russia and the USA. Considering all stakeholder
perspectives, they present the regulatory processes of all eight
Arctic countries, and also provide helpful flowcharts that depict
the process graphically for each country. Measuring these practices
against the 1997 Guidelines for Environmental Impact Assessment in
the Arctic, the only Arctic environmental impact assessment
guidance document that has been officially approved by the
ministers of all eight Arctic countries, this book identifies key
areas where adherence to best practice is high, such as stakeholder
outreach and development, as well as those areas that fall short.
Thorough and accessible, Environmental Impact Assessment in the
Arctic will provide an excellent reference for academics in the
fields of law and environmental studies as well as for government
officials and stakeholders who stand to benefit from best practice.
