Turning Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) from an administrative into a statutory process is usually taken as a key indicator for advance development of EIA system in a place. In Hong Kong, the EIA Ordinance was enacted in 1997 and has been applied to designated projects that might have adverse impacts on the environment, in particular for major infrastructure projects. Over the past years, one can see the general increase in public awareness of environmental protection and the demand for more transparent EIA process and better public engagement. Stakeholders with different interests may also resort to legal challenges on projects which they considered as detrimental to their interests.  Some cases in Hong Kong, e.g. the Hongkong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge project and the Integrated Waste Management Facilities, were challenged in courts, causing delay to projects, economic losses and social resentment. 

This talk will share with the audience the challenges experienced and lessons learned from the 18-year implementation of EIA Ordinance in Hong Kong and describes its effectiveness for public understanding of how decisions are made throughout the EIA process.
