Environment paper no. 7 deals with environmental risk assessment (ERA) which is a rapidly evolving tool for planning and management.

ERA builds upon environmental impact assessment in that risks are impacts where the likelihood of occurrence and magnitude of consequences are uncertain. - From the Book
