2.3 Alþjóðlegir samningar, yfírlýsingar o.þ.h. Nú verða nefnd nokkur dæmi úr alþjóðlegum rétti um skyldu til þess að láta fara fram mat á umhverfisáhrifum. Ég mun hér einungis birta íslenskan texta liggi hann fyrir í Sjórnartíðindum eða í þingskjölum. í World Charter for Nature, frá 1982, er í (b) lið 11. gr. að finna eitt slíkt dæmi. Þar segir: „(b) Activities which are likely to pose a significant risk to nature shall be preceded by an exhaustive examination; their proponents shall demonstrate that expected benefits outweigh potential damage to nature, and where potential adverse effects are not fully understood, the activities should not proceed;“ Umhverfisstofnun Sameinuðu þjóðanna (UNEP) hefur látið sig málið varða og árið 1987 voru gefnar út leiðbeiningar varðandi mat á umhverfisáhrifum, Goals and Principles of Environmental Impact Assessment. Leiðbeiningarnar taka að mörgu leyti mið af NEPA lögunum bandarísku þótt þær eigi við um ein- stakar framkvæmdir. í 4. gr. leiðbeininganna er fjallað um innihald mats á um- hverfisáhrifum og segir í þeim að í matsskýrslu skuli vera: (a) A description of the proposed activity; (b) A description of the potentially affected environment, including specific information necessary for identifying and assessing the environmental effects of the proposed activity; (c) A description of practical alternatives, as appropriate; (d) An assessment of the likely or potential environmental impacts of the proposed activity and alternatives, including the direct, indirect, cumulative, short-term and long-term effects; (e) An identification and description of measures available to mitigate adverse environmental impacts of the proposed activity and altematives, and an assess- ment of those measures; (f) An indication of gaps in knowledge and uncertainties which may be encount- ered in compiling the required information; (g) An indication of whether the environment of any other State or areas beyond national jurisdiction is likely to be affected by the proposed activity or alterna- tives; (h) A brief, non-technical summary of the information provided under the above headings. Svokallaður Espoo-samningur frá 199126 fjallar einvörðungu um mat á um- hverfisáhrifum og er gildissvið hans bundið við umfangsmiklar framkvæmdir þegar búist er við að umhverfisáhrif vegna þeirra fari yfir landamæri. Samn- ingsaðilar skuldbinda sig til þess að meta umhverfisáhrif þessara framkvæmda áður en í þær er ráðist og ber þeim að tryggja að gerð sé matsskýrsla og að al- 26 Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context. 163
