The draft EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) notification 2020 of India will be passed in just 3 days. It has been published in only English & Hindi - this ensures that a large part of the population is completely unaware of the implications of EIA 2020 on their lives and livelihoods. ◽ ⁣ ⁣ ⭕ This tool is used to identify environmental, social and economic impacts of industrial/ corporate projects - the draft EIA 2020 is conveniently being diluted during these times of corona.⁣ ⁣ ❌ It ensures that many projects will not require any public consultations - not even of the indigenous people who will be directly affected. ⁣ ⁣ ❌ The Post Facto approval ensures that if a project starts illegally the government will let it pass to favour "development". ⁣ ⁣ ❌ "Strategic projects" will be passed irrespective of the potential project site being the home of endangered species - this is again to boost the so called "development" of the country. ⁣ ⁣ The toolkit in our bio will lead you to everything you need to know about this issue. We have 3 days until this will get passed. Please act now! ⁣ ⁣ #withdrawdrafteia2020 #ActNow
