In our country Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) is legal provision for samll scale development project. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is legal mandate for large scale project. However SIA and EMP has not legal binding provision and applied in the project specific. SEA seems non in practice. Regarding climate change mitigation and adaptation we are learning stage. So, I would like to know and explore worldwide practices for EM and Environment protection and find out solution to use it as best tool worldwide.
Thank you for your valuable idea, suggestion experiences to all researchers, academician, professionals, scientists and practitioner worldwide!
In our country "Cuba" We are working on a virtual platform that facilitates the management of data, information and knowledge on the environment, and to act as a meeting point and shuttle specialized web services and support (tools) to the environmental management and decision-making in a national system of environmental information. The following items can be found our experience is at an early stage has focused on proposing solutions to projects funded by the GEF and the launch of the "InfoGEO" initiative considering the principle of "open access" offers users and an organized links, resources and geospatial web services that provide general information and a virtual meeting place and convergence between different academic disciplines, research projects and scientific societies, whose joint use linchpin national scientific community and geographic information management, environmental and geomatics environment....

In Kenya (my Country), Environmental Management is done using the following tools/ methods/ instruments/ approaches:- i) Environmental Law (EL), ii) Environmental Assessment (EA) which includes Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), environmental auditing and monitoring (EAM) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), iii) Environmental Information Systems (EIS), or Geographical Information Systems iv) Environmental Management Systems (EMS). Both Laboratory analysis based and field based science methods are used where necessary and as need arises depending on the nature of environmental research problem that is being addressed. Note that public participation, consultation and involvement techniques are also used
Dear Ramesh,
Please see the chapter 2.1 of the enclosed book for a Hungarian and European summary (pages 38-47). I think the best formalized and officially verifyable tool is still EMAS, at least from the voluntary arena.
good luck: Gergely
In Sri Lanka, EA is mandatory for any project that has a significant environmental impact. Central Environmental Authority (CEA) screens projects and decide whether IEE or EIA is required depend on the magnitude of environmental impact. Public participation is mandatory for EIA. SEA is not mandatory but few SEAs have been conducted for large scale projects with cumulative impacts and urban development plans.
The following link connects to the EA practice of CEA.
