The Environmental Risk Assessment Matrix is a critical document required for projects and operations in Nigeria that may have significant environmental impacts. It serves as a fundamental tool for compliance with Nigerian environmental legislation, particularly the Environmental Impact Assessment Act 1992 and various NESREA regulations. The matrix is typically prepared during the project planning phase or when significant operational changes are proposed, and it must be updated periodically to reflect changing conditions or regulations. It includes detailed analysis of potential environmental risks, their likelihood and consequences, and proposed mitigation measures. This document is essential for obtaining environmental permits and approvals from Nigerian authorities and demonstrates an organization's commitment to environmental stewardship and regulatory compliance.
