More to discover: Emerging and cross-cutting IA Topics

Impact assessment (IA) is an interdisciplinary, evolving field that extends well beyond any single category. In addition to our featured focus areas, IAIA members and practitioners engage with a wide variety of emerging, cross-cutting, and niche topics.

Many of these topics overlap with, or fall within, the broader categories already highlighted on this site — demonstrating how interconnected IA issues are and how they often require integrated approaches. These additional topics reflect innovation in practice, respond to global challenges, and illustrate how IA can adapt to diverse contexts and needs.

These topics all work toward the same goal: BETTER DECISIONS FOR PEOPLE AND THE PLANET.
