The article discusses how to assess the combined impact of multiple projects on the environment. It looks at the challenges and opportunities of Cumulative Impact Assessment (CIA) within the broader context of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA). The researchers suggest that CIA should be integrated into the SEA process to better consider the overall impact of development activities on policies, plans, and projects. By doing so, they believe that CIA can be more effectively implemented to protect the environment.
