“…A deficiência na execução dos processos de licenciamento ambiental não ocorre apenas no Brasil, países como Paquistão e África do Sul apresentam gargalos semelhantes, como corpo técnico insuficiente para garantir a implementação e monitoramento das condicionantes exigidas no licenciamento ambiental (Khan et al, 2018). Monteiro e Silva (2018), em um contexto internacional, apontaram falhas na infraestrutura dos órgãos ambientais para que os profissionais responsáveis pela execução e supervisão dos projetos desenvolvam suas atribuições de forma competente.…”

O licenciamento ambiental tem sido objeto de diversas críticas, destacando o excesso de burocracia e o alto grau de subjetividade do processo. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar dois processos de licenciamento ambiental referentes às rodovias BR-116 e BR-392, conectando as cidades gaúchas de Porto Alegre até Pelotas e de Pelotas até Rio Grande, conduzido pelo Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis (IBAMA). A pesquisa é do tipo documental e analisou o licenciamento ambiental de dois trechos rodoviários, enfocando a cronologia das emissões das licenças e os fatores que afetaram o trâmite dos processos. A abertura dos processos nos trechos de Porto Alegre até Pelotas e de Pelotas até Rio Grande ocorreram em agosto do ano de 2000 e em dezembro de 2002, respectivamente. A licença de operação para o trecho de Pelotas até Rio Grande ocorreu em abril do ano de 2014, 13 anos e oito meses após a abertura do seu processo. Para o trecho de Porto Alegre até Pelotas, em 2019, ano de análise dos processos, a sua licença de operação ainda não tinha sido emitida. Esse longo tempo para emissão das licenças ambientais reflete a complexidade do instrumento e pode ser explicado pelo grande número de órgãos envolvidos no processo.

“…EIA entails a socio-technical system that requires the involvement of multiple stakeholders, which makes it collaborative, interpersonal, and inclusive by integrating environmental consultants, impacted communities, private firms, and the public sector (Chanthy and Grünbühel 2015;Kågström 2016;Khan et al 2018;Lawrence 1997;Morrison-Saunders and Bailey 2009). Simultaneously, EIA requires integrating quantitative and qualitative information from the project's social, economic, and natural environment to establish accurate risk assessments (Bond et al 2018;Faubert et al 2010;Lawrence 1997), which are essential for identifying and assessing the relevance of risks and impacts (Castelblanco et al 2021bMarcellino et al 2022a;.…”

“…The infrastructure literature shows no consensus regarding the required conditions for achieving EIA effectiveness (Hansen and Wood 2016;Heinma and Põder 2010;Khan et al 2020;Zvijáková et al 2014). Based on the literature review conducted, comprehensive composite conditions for EIA effectiveness were gathered from three main clusters: 1) the role of environmental consultants (Androulidakis and Karakassis 2006;Kågström 2016;Kamijo and Huang 2019;Khan et al 2018;Momtaz and Kabir 2013); 2) project features (Badr et al 2011;Cashmore et al 2002) , and; 3) communities' participation (Bond et al 2018;Chanthy and Grünbühel 2015;Morrison-Saunders and Bailey 2009). These clusters encompass the most relevant measures associated with accomplishing EIA effectiveness in accordance with the extant literature (Androulidakis and Karakassis 2006;Badr et al 2011;Morrison-Saunders and Bailey 2009).…”

Environmental Impact Assessment Effectiveness in Public–Private Partnerships: Study on the Colombian Toll Road Program

et al. 2023

Public-private partnership (PPP) has been positioned as a relevant contracting method for developing large-scale infrastructure projects, which entail potentially high-magnitude negative impacts on the environment. The effectiveness of their Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is crucial to achieving sustainable development of these large-scale infrastructure projects. To unravel the drivers for the EIA effectiveness and the multiple combinations built by the complexity of these drivers, this paper analyzes 28 road PPP projects from Colombia employing a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) approach. This paper decodes conjectural causal links between specific conditions grouped in superordinate clusters (i.e., consultants' capability, project features, and communities' participation) and EIA effectiveness dimensions (i.e., normative, procedural, substantive, and transactive). Findings revealed that no single combination of causal conditions ensures multidimensional EIA effectiveness. This study demonstrated that EIA effectiveness relies significantly on the integration of specific features of three external stakeholders: consultants, nonpreferred proponents, and communities. This study constitutes the first empirical multidimensional identification of the combination of conditions that generate EIA effectiveness in road PPPs.

“…While these roles and expectations are context-dependent, studies have long been showing a number of recurrent issues that contribute to conflicts and inefficiencies. One of the key issues is that perceptions about the purpose and nature EIA may vary significantly across stakeholder groups (Morgan et al, 2012;Kolhoff et al, 2016;Duarte et al, 2017;Khan et al, 2018;Cilliers et al, 2020). For example, many developers have been historically biased towards short-term economic priorities, at times perceiving the EIA process as a financial and temporal hurdle to business.…”

Main roles in the EIA process Typical expectations of the EIA process Lawmakers Create and change laws and regulations; learn from past regulatory experience; disclose information to society. Procedural efficiency; adherence to partisan and/or voters' values. Judicial Bodies Various judicial bodies are required to engage in EIAs when conflicts escalate. Their roles include judicial review; hermeneutics; meetings; public hearings; court ruling; etc. Fairness; consistency; transparency; access to information; openness to contradictory perspectives, etc. Researchers or Scholars Researchers have long been studying EIA theory and practice. Their roles include characterization of practice; proposals of new approaches to EIA; theorization of EIA; collection of empirical data; dissemination of practice; capacity-building; etc. At times, researchers act as practitioners taking the roles of consultants, independent verifiers, reviewers, etc. Effectiveness of practice (procedural, substantive, transactive, normative, etc.); access of information to conduct studies; adherence to best practice; comparability; empirical value for future studies.
