Methodological Guide for Cumulative Impacts Management Through Environmental Impact Assessment in Peru

The Environmental Impact Assessment has been a great tool to prevent environmental damage, however the individual scope of this tool limits the analysis of the interaction of the impacts with the impacts of neighboring projects, to generate cumulative impacts. The objective of this research is to propose a guide for the management of cumulative impacts through EIA in Peru. To achieve this objective, an analysis of the cumulative impact of international best practices was carried out. Additionally, a comparison has been made of the evolution of legislation in this matter that Canada has had, and the cumulative impact that has occurred in the mining corridor in Peru has been analyzed. Based on this information, a six-step guide has been proposed to include the evaluation of cumulative impacts in EIA, without modifying the current legislation and considering the existing sources of information in Peru.
