In the construction industry, there are many risk management models, the purpose of which is to bring the project to full implementation, namely to minimize possible violations of project deadlines, deviations from the quality of work, reduce financial costs and so on. However, contractors and subcontractors are faced with a high level of risk when implementing a construction project. The problem is that contractors have formed problem-solving systems that are purely local, which means they are intuitive and unsystematic and cannot extend beyond local initiatives and construction solutions. Besides that, the construction industry forms a whole list of environmental problems, such as excessive consumption of energy resources, changing landscapes and an increase in household and industrial waste. Construction can have a significant impact on the local environment and the energy intensity of the built-up environment could increase significantly over the next decade. The concept of environmental impact assessment, introduced by the Espoo Convention, is directly related to the concept of risk management, since it involves minimizing them at the initial stages of the implementation of construction projects. According to the Convention, the assessment procedure should be carried out at an early stage of planning (Paragraph 3 Article 2 of the Convention). The purpose of the study implies to consider environmental impact assessment as a successful construction risk management tool. This study is designed to analyze the effectiveness of the Convention’s mechanisms in practice in risk management and create a reliable legal background for developing an innovative integrated and systematic method of assessing risks in the implementation of a construction projects. The implementation of such an integrated approach is primarily aimed at preventing the causes of the risk and not at eliminating the consequences of existing risks in current and potential infrastructure projects, the activities of which fall under the scope of the above-mentioned Convention.

在建筑行业，存在多种风险管理模式，其目的是使项目全面实施，即尽量减少可能违反项目工期、偏离工作质量、降低财务成本等。然而，承包商和分包商在实施建设项目时面临着高风险。问题是承包商已经形成了纯粹本地化的解决问题的系统，这意味着它们是直观的和非系统的，不能超越本地的倡议和建设解决方案。除此之外，建筑业形成了一整套环境问题，例如能源资源的过度消耗、景观的变化以及家庭和工业废物的增加。建筑可能对当地环境产生重大影响，建筑环境的能源强度在未来十年可能会显着增加。《埃斯波公约》引入的环境影响评估的概念与风险管理的概念直接相关，因为它涉及在建设项目实施的初始阶段将风险最小化。根据公约，评估程序应在规划的早期阶段进行（公约第 2 条第 3 款）。该研究的目的意味着将环境影响评估视为一种成功的施工风险管理工具。本研究旨在分析《公约》机制在风险管理实践中的有效性，并为开发一种创新的综合和系统的建筑项目实施风险评估方法创造可靠的法律背景。实施这种综合方法的主要目的是预防风险的原因，而不是消除现有和潜在基础设施项目中现有风险的后果，这些项目的活动属于上述公约的范围。
