Abstract

The article discusses the issue of environmental impact assessment as a procedure designed to guarantee the constitutional rights of a person to life and to an environment safe for life and health, to ensure the balance of economic and ecological components of sustainable development. The authors briefly analyze the political and legal prerequisites for the introduction of the environmental impact assessment procedure into national legislation in view of Ukraine’s European integration obligations, the main stages of such a procedure and its importance for guaranteeing the realization of the above-mentioned right. Recommendations were formulated for improving the regulatory regulation of the environmental impact assessment procedure in order to increase its effectiveness as a guarantee of the implementation of the specified constitutional human rights.
