Sustainability Impact Assessment (SIA)

Summary/Abstract: In recent years, different types of impact assessments were developed and implemented in many european countries. They can be defined as the procedures for environmental impact assessment of projects, plans, programs or policy proposals in selected areas, before their implementation. The main goal of impact assessments is to improve the decision-making process. This paper deals with sustainability impact assessment (SIA) methodology, as a necessary instrument for the study of the combined impact of proposed policies, strategies and action plans on the economy, social justice and the environment. The importance of this tool is demonstrated through the presentation of SIA procedural steps in EU member states, in order to be the basis for developing a methodology that could be applied in the Republic of Serbia with the aim of achieving national sustainable development and meeting European standards in the process of Serbia’s accession to the European Union. The presented methodology should be established as a mandatory instrument in the implementation of sustainable development goals, which are identified in the National Strategy for Sustainable Development of the Republic of Serbia, and aims to achieve sustainability in all sectoral policies.
