This discussion space is part of the Wellbeing Economy Policy Design course, Module 9.2.
Discussion question: There are many existing types of policy impact assessments that governments carry out. They often focus on specific types of impacts, such as environmental impacts, social impacts, impacts on gender equality or child wellbeing. Sometimes, several of these impact assessments are combined or integrated into an overarching assessment framework, such as environmental and social impact assessments (ESIA) and sustainability impact assessments.
What kinds of prospective impact assessments are currently carried out in your government department or unit?
