National HIA Guidelines: application experiences of proposers and evaluators

The workshop aims to illustrate the application experiences of the National VIS LGs developed by ISS in the context of the EIA procedure of works under state jurisdiction, in particular large combustion plants. This day in particular aims to describe the development and analysis of the HIA study from the point of view of the Proponent and the Evaluator for certain works such as regasification plans, biorefineries and thermal power plants. Discussions between Proponents and Evaluators allow the identification of the most suitable development solutions to safeguard the health of the populations of the territories concerned.
