QUESTION 1
Skill
Points
Good structure (including introduction, conclusion Up to 10
and coherent argument)
Evidence of reading beyond the course notes
Up to 5
Arguments (can include other ideas)

Explanation of what climate change mitigation
consists of (reducing greenhouse gas emissions and
increasing capacity of natural stores and sinks)
Analysis of the positive impact of EIA on CC

mitigation including reducing GHG emissions of
individual projects, designing projects to reduce
impact on natural stores and sinks
10
Analysis of why EIA fails to secure CC mitigation

e.g. lack of climate change considerations within
EIA, inability to impact on project type, just
location and development consent
10
Analysis of why SEA can have a postive impact on

CC mitigation including consideration of earlier
decision-making stage for energy policy,
consideration of climate change on wider land use
policies such as forestry and agriculture
10
Analysis of why SEA can fail to have a positive

impact including plans and policies still restricted
by existing infrastructure e.g. national grid.

QUESTION 2
Skill
Points
Up to 5
Explanation of what sustainable development is
9
and how EIA can help achieve it
Discussion of how developers could potentially put
9
pressure on consultants to reduce the significance
of indentified impacts
Discussion of other aspects of the client

relationship and how it can affect SD through
managing and writting the ES document
Discussion of the importance of effective public
participation for achieving sustainable development
Discussion of the reluctance of developers to
encourage PP in the scoping stage and the potential
impact on achieving SD objectives

QUESTION 3
Skill
Points
Up to 5
Discussion of what data collection and management
5
requirements there are in the context of EIA
Evaluation of the problems for impact prediction
e.g. requirement for specific data for a location,
lack of time to collect sufficient data, inability to
manage data effectively and pass relevant data
between subject areas
Evaluation of the problems for monitoring and
auditing e.g. lack of mandatory M&A, issues of
separating increasing baseline from project impact,
lack of transfer of M&A to other EIA project
impact prediction stages
Discussion of SD in the context of EIA
Discussion of how EIA influences decision-making
in terms of land-use decisions
Discussion of how EIA could be improved e.g.
better information management allowing for more
complete impact prediction, better information
about the effectiveness of mitigation measures from
M&A
