Linking environmental impact assessment, environmental management systems and green procurement in construction projects: lessons from the City Tunnel Project in Malmö, Sweden

Comparative analysis of enabling legislation for EIA follow-up in Lebanon, Palestine and Jordan (and Aqaba)

“…Arts et al (2003) define EIA follow-up as the 'monitoring and evaluation of the impacts of a project or plan that has been subject to an EIA for management of, and communication about, the environmental performance of that project or plan' , with the purpose of improving project management, providing feedback on the EIA process and communicating the environmental performance of the project. Proper EIA follow-up also provides information about predicted impacts and the effectiveness of the mitigation measures (Varnäs et al 2009). It is generally the responsibility of the project proponent to engage the public, implement mitigation measures and monitor progress during the EIA follow-up phase (Wasserman 2011).…”

Planners’ views on cumulative effects. A focus-group study concerning transport infrastructure planning in Sweden

“…Procurement could therefore get a key role in enhancing CE treatment in Swedish EIA work. Procurement has been shown to have a crucial role in promoting environmental consideration in, e.g., large infrastructure projects (Varnäs et al, 2009).…”

Green building project management: obstacles and solutions for sustainable development

“…They also determined the critical knowledge issues that are necessary to respond to such challenges. Varnäs et al (2009) illustrates how the environment impacts (EIs) determined in the EIA can be followed up by combining them in the project-environmental management system, the construction contract procurements, and the EMSs and work instructions of the contractor. Yang et al (2017) studied the feasibility of implementing a multi-objective optimal model on building envelope design (MOPBEM), which involved combining a building envelope energy performance model with a multi-objective optimizer.…”
