What Does CUM Stand For?
CUM stands for Cumulative Effects
CUM, or Cumulative Effects, refers to the combined impact of multiple activities or events on the environment, ecosystems, or social systems over time. It emphasizes the need to assess how incremental changes, when considered collectively, can lead to significant consequences that may not be evident when examining individual actions in isolation. Understanding cumulative effects is essential for effective environmental management, decision-making, and policy development to ensure sustainable outcomes.
