  • Smartening and Streamlining EIA Regulation in LATAM – Overview of Trends
    Smartening and Streamlining EIA Regulation in LATAM – Overview of Trends Grace E. Russell, Paula Uscátegui, Dean Slocum, Atma Khalsa Acorn International Abstract 1001 IAIA21, Virtual Conference, 18-21 May 2021 Abstract Years of experience in performing and training on ESHIA in Latin America reveals some promising, and not-so-promising, trends in how nations in the region are streamlining and improving decision-making in ESHIA regulation. Over the decades, ESHIA regulation in LATAM has yielded highly formulaic and voluminous ESHIAs, in some cases driven by environmental penal laws that make regulators liable for decisions that may be alleged to cause environmental damages. Recent attempts to promote smarter and more streamlined ESHIA in Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Guyana and Mexico show varying degrees of success and lessons learned. In collaboration with our in-country experts, the authors will highlight the status and trends of ESHIA regulation in the region, focusing on these six countries. Introduction Developers and investors worldwide seek predictability, and the changing regulatory landscapes of Latin America (LATAM) are no exception. In Acorn International’s decades of work on environmental and social risk management solutions for the extractive industry, investors and governments throughout the region, we have observed many positive development programs hampered or stopped because of unpredictable outcomes in meeting environmental review and approval requirements. This challenge has not been lost on governments of Latin America seeking foreign investment. Brazil flexibilized its famously rigorous EIA approval requirements and added early government reviews to highlight potential regulatory “red flags.” Mexico issued separate guidance for baseline studies and social impact assessments on top of EIA requirements to separate and, in theory, simplify each stage.
