The details have varied widely, reflecting the global diversity of socio-ecological and governance systems and associated issues, traditions, capacities, ambitions, and power structures. In 2015, Canada embarked on a task that no other country has attempted in recent years: fundamentally reconsidering how best to tackle environmental assessment. This review and revision process ended with the passage of the \u003cem\u003eImpact Assessment Act \u003c\/em\u003e(\u003cem\u003eIAA\u003c\/em\u003e) in 2019.\u003cem\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Next Generation of Impact Assessment\u003c\/em\u003e explores the evolution of the Canadian assessment process and evaluates the effectiveness of the \u003cem\u003eIAA\u003c\/em\u003e.
