The Assessment Process

The Assessment Process

YESAB’s assessment process is designed to be fair, transparent, timely, and predictable.

It provides a structured way to examine the potential environmental and socio-economic effects of proposed projects before decisions are made.

Assessments at a Glance

Every assessment follows a legislated process set out in the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act.

At a high level, the process includes:

  • Submitting a project proposal
  • Reviewing information about potential effects
  • Gathering public, First Nation, and technical input
  • Issuing recommendations to decision bodies

The level of assessment depends on the scope, complexity, and potential effects of the project.
