The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 revolutionized environmental protection in the U.S. by establishing a framework for considering environmental impacts in federal decision-making. It mandated that federal agencies assess the environmental effects of their proposed actions through Environmental Assessments (EAs) and Environmental Impact Statements (EISs). This requirement increased transparency and public participation, allowing citizens to engage in the decision-making process. NEPA set a precedent for integrating environmental considerations into governmental policies and projects, significantly shaping the landscape of environmental regulation in the country.
