consideration of relevance
Explanation:
consideration of relevance

maybe within the context of considering the relevance of the environmental impact...

I found these websites (in Yahoo Canada - gave in "consideration of relevance" and "environmental"), which used the expression in question and within an environmental context..

The second one is a pdf - just put in the phrase, consideration of relevance in the search box to find the corresponding page..

Hope it helps! :-)

relevance to the evaluation


Explanation:
"relevance to the evaluation"

Something to do with relevance to the evaluation or consideration of evidence, perhaps?

**Abwägungsrelevanz** would seem to capture some specific aspect of German law, and may very well demand translation with the specific, matching English legal term.

So please use my suggested translation advisedly, if at all ;-)

There may be some term of art for Abwägungsrelevanz that is more "relevant"

neutral  Kim Metzger: An evaluation is a legal consequence? resultierende Rechtsfolgen (z. B. Verbotstatbestände, Abwägungsrelevanz). Assessment is the standard term in an environmental impact context.

  -> I frankly don't recognize the German term, and am guessing. Perhaps the term means X is being evaluated (or assessed), and its relevance to possible legal consequences considered. More context would help.

Example sentence(s):
  • There will also be a consideration of relevance and use of the research achievements for industry, local authorities, and other organisations at the national and regional levels.
  • This reflects the review of additional evaluations, consideration of relevance of specific study findings, and an overall weight of evidence.
