Environmental mitigation refers to the process by which measures to avoid, minimise, or compensate for adverse impacts on the environment are applied. [1] In the context of planning processes like Environmental Impact Assessments, this process is often guided by applying conceptual frameworks like the "mitigation hierarchy" or "mitigation sequence". [2]
Mitigation planning identifies policies and actions that can be taken over the long term to reduce risk, and in the event of a disaster occurring, minimize loss. Such policies and actions are based on a risk assessment , using the identified hazards , vulnerabilities and probabilities of occurrence and estimates of impact to calculate risks ...
These Conservation Recommendations provide information on how to avoid, minimize, mitigate, or offset those adverse effects. [20] Federal action agencies must provide a written explanation to NOAA Fisheries if any of these recommendations have not been adopted. [ 21 ]

It also contains a risk assessment matrix.According to the Project Management Institute, a risk management plan is a "component of the project, program, or portfolio management plan that describes how risk management activities will be structured and performed".
Zero-risk bias is based on the way people feel better if a risk is eliminated instead of being merely mitigated.

The mitigation hierarchy describes a series of measures that should be applied in sequence to reduce impacts on biodiversity to the point where no adverse effects remain, often including the steps avoid, reduce, restore/rehabilitate, and offset. [13] Offsetting is often regarded as the "final resort" in the mitigation hierarchy. [14]
