Science and Indigenous Knowledge as the Evidentiary Basis for Impact Assessment

New!

From: The Next Generation of Impact Assessment

$2.50

This chapter considers the Impact Assessment Act’s (IAA) approach to science and Indigenous knowledge by setting out the roles that science and Indigenous knowledge play in establishing the evidentiary basis for impact assessment and decision making. It also considers the unsatisfactory manner in which science and Indigenous knowledge have been applied over the past four decades of Canadian impact assessment law and practice and some of the factors that have been identified as contributing to this state of affairs.
