Innovative and technically advanced methods and world leading expertise form the basis of ICEM’s integrating assessment methods. During 15 years of operations we have successfully applied our range of integration services in projects throughout the Asia Pacific region. Our ability to adopt and develop project specific approaches from an extensive range of tools has made us leaders in this field, as reflected in ICEM receiving the 2012 global International Association of Impact Assessment (IAIA) award for its strategic environmental assessment work. We have developed an extensive suite of interlinked tools and processes that support our integrated approach. Integration is promoted within the design and implementation of all ICEM’s projects. Our team select and adapt the most appropriate mix of tools and methods to address the specific needs of each project. ICEM’s tools work within existing development planning processes. We have successfully undertaken SEAs and EIAs for development plans involving many countries down to site specific road, power plant and irrigation scheme proposals. > Download our Integrated Assessments Capacity Statement Browse our integrated assessment projects below.

The 3S basins, as they are collectively known, are richly endowed with natural resources and make an important contribution to national and regional development. However, there is a critical need to understand and respond to the risks inherent in the current "growth at all costs" paradigm. The purpose of the study is to improve the quality of planning and investment in the 3S region.

These towns are susceptible to flooding, drought, storms and other natural hazards, which are likely to become more frequent and more severe with climate change. This will negatively affect human settlements and economic activities in the region. Held in Bangkok on 24-27 May 2016, the ‘SEA process, tools and lessons from the lower Mekong region energy sector’ workshop was organized by PACT Thailand as part of its Lower Mekong Initiative (LMI) Environment and Water Pillar Training Program (PTP). The workshop had two objectives: About: Nepalese people are highly dependent on forests and forest products to fulfill energy demands and for timber for construction and maintenance of houses and buildings. The main reasons for the conversion of forest areas are encroachment for resettlement/agriculture, and acquisition of forest area for infrastructure development including road expansion. The Mekong Delta is affected by upstream development – often in ways not fully understood and with uncertain impacts on natural, social and economic systems which sustain life and well being for millions of people in Vietnam. With expanding plans for major developments on the mainstream and its tributaries, those impacts are likely to become much more serious. Vietnam and its riparian neighbours do not have adequate scientific understanding for informed decision making on Mekong mainstream hydropower projects, especially on their downstream effects.

Stemming from the NAPA, a Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR) has been developed focusing on long-term interventions aimed at enhancing climate resilience in Nepal.
Mainstreaming climate change risk management in development is a technical assessment component of the SPCR. The expected outcome is that the GoN’s infrastructure development programs, policies and projects incorporate safeguards to address the effects of climate change.
