Cumulative Effects Assessment Clause Samples

A Cumulative Effects Assessment clause requires the evaluation of the combined impact of a project or activity alongside other existing or planned projects in the same area. In practice, this means that when assessing environmental or social impacts, the analysis must consider not just the direct effects of the proposed action, but also how these effects interact with those from other sources, such as nearby developments or ongoing operations. The core function of this clause is to ensure that decision-makers and stakeholders have a comprehensive understanding of the total potential impact, thereby preventing the oversight of significant cumulative harms that might not be apparent when projects are considered in isolation.
