Look up proponent in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
In environmental policy, a proponent is a person or organization that proposes carrying out an activity that may have an effect on the environment (an "undertaking"). In authorities such as those in Nova Scotia, the proponent of an undertaking has certain resposibilties to the local and national government to submit to environmental assessment prior to making the undertaking.
