Iniciación a la evaluación del impacto ambiental from edX

La mayoría de las actuaciones humanas alteran el entorno en el que se desarrollan, generando impactos ambientales de diversa índole. Por ello se incluye, en las políticas y acciones de la comunidad, la exigencia de protección de los recursos naturales y del medio ambiente, con el objeto de fomentar un desarrollo sostenible. La evaluación de impacto ambiental constituye el instrumento más adecuado para la preservación y defensa del medio ambiente atendiendo al principio de sostenibilidad.

El objetivo de este curso es sensibilizar sobre la necesidad de estudiar y prever adecuadamente las consecuencias de las actuaciones humanas sobre el medio ambiente. Tras este curso el alumno será capaz de desarrollar las herramientas de toma de decisiones, analizar, prevenir y mitigar/compensar los perjuicios ambientales ocasionados por los proyectos a desarrollar, permitiendo con ello un desarrollo compatible con el mantenimiento de la calidad ambiental.

Lógicamente, todo ello implica la necesidad de proporcionar los conocimientos necesarios para utilizar y/o estructurar los datos del proyecto y el medioambiente cara a una correcta prognosis y evaluación de los efectos ambientales que dicho proyecto producirá.

Aunque este curso ha sido desarrollado utilizando la legislación medioambiental vigente en España, a la que hace referencia, los conceptos y procedimientos tratados son lo suficientemente generales como para ser aplicados en cualquier país, adaptándolos a la legislación vigente en cada caso.
