Abstract

This paper focuses on the procedural challenges and corresponding breakthrough strategies in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process for onshore wind power projects. It first outlines the policy and procedural framework of EIA as well as the specific characteristics of onshore wind projects. It then analyzes key difficulties, including site selection conflicts, inconsistent report quality, and resistance in public participation. Finally, it proposes targeted solutions such as optimizing site selection, standardizing technical procedures, and innovating public participation mechanisms. The study aims to provide practical references for the smooth implementation of EIA procedures in onshore wind power projects and to promote their green and sustainable development.
