A Model Environmental and Sustainability Assessment Law (Annotated Version)

The Environmental Law Centre extends its thanks to the funders of the Model Environmental Assessment Law Project: the Alberta Law Foundation and the Alberta Ecotrust Foundation. Without their generous support and vision, this project would not have been possible.

The Environmental Law Centre also wishes to thank the members of the advisory committee – which included Robert Gibson, Stephen Hazell, Meinhard Doelle and others – for their valuable contribution of time and expertise. The members of the advisory committee provided the Environmental Law Centre with advice, critique and feedback throughout the Model Environmental Assessment Law Project. However, this Model Law is the product of the Environmental Law Centre. The Model Environmental Assessment Law represents the views and conclusions of only the Environmental Law Centre.
