“…Sustainability in events, in the context of the present study, refers to the triple-bottom-line, in terms of which the related economic, social and environmental concerns are posited as being of equal importance and thereby as deserving of equal consideration in the planning and management of sport events (Fyall & Jago, 2009). The growing interest in sport event sustainability arises from the industry trends, including the globalisation of sport, which attracts substantial numbers of attendees to hosting destinations, the increase in the strategic leveraging of major and mega sport events, the global movement towards sustainability and subsequently the inclusion of sustainability principles in the bidding and hosting requirements of mega and major sport events (Dolf & Teehan, 2014;Pereira et al, 2014;Han et al, 2015;McCullough et al, 2015;Boggia et al, 2018;Casper et al, 2019) .…”

“…The Brazilian EL is typically a threephased permitting process: preliminary licence (LP), installation licence (LI) and operation licence (LO). The LP assesses the viability of the proposal, based on the review of an EIS; the LI authorizes the construction or commissioning of the facility and the LO is the final permit that will have to be kept valid throughout the life of the project (Sánchez 2013;Cardoso et al 2014;Pereira et al 2014;.…”

“…The fact that decisions over a project being licensed in Brazil can go forward despite contrary technical and public opinion is well documented in academic literature (e.g. Hochstetler 2011;Hanna et al 2014;Pereira et al 2014;Fearnside 2015). Therefore, once the stakes are higher in a multi-project EIA approachlarger investments, more stakeholders, increased prioritythe risk of political interference is also raised.…”

Despite being adopted worldwide, environmental impact assessment (EIA) is under pressure in many countries, while perceived (rightly or wrongly) as an ineffective and inefficient process. Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) is thought to help address some of EIA's shortcomings, but it is absent in many jurisdictions and sectors. In this paper, we argue that multi-project EIA can, in some contexts, simultaneously deliver greater effectiveness and process streamlining. To illustrate our claim, we present a case study from offshore petroleum production in Brazil, where the development of the pre-salt giant reserves is being licensed through a multi-project EIA approach, in a non-SEA planning environment. The analysis provides interesting insights on the strengths and challenges of that strategy, focusing on five aspects of practice: cumulative impacts, efficiency, approach to authorizations, follow-up and political issues. Proper scoping was found to be essential to consistent EIA processes and shorter review times. Finally, we suggest that multi-project EIA approach should be revisited by practitioners and regulators to identify opportunities for deployment, especially in jurisdictions where strategic assessments are not in place.

In this paper we briefly review the state of academic research in the UK in the field of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA). Through consideration of the number of articles related to EIA and SEA published in academic journals and the contribution of post-graduate students' (PhD and master level) dissertation theses we aim to understand where activity has occurred in the field over recent decades. Simple literature and database searches reveal that the UK is an active environment for researchers and students in the field with numerous universities engaged in research and teaching (although not always both activities). However, we have also collected evidence to suggest that research funding is lacking and that there is variation over time in the number and scale of research projects being funded in the UK.
