Russian term or phrase:
объект оценки
English translation:
what needs to be assessed / what types of projects should be subject to such assessment
Russian term
объект оценки
"Тем не менее, практический и законодательный опыт применения экологической оценки для разработки региональных планов и программ в значительной степени сформировали современную концепцию объектов оценки"
Под "объектами оценки" стратегической экологической оценки понимаются планы и программы развития, и "объектами оценки" environmental impact assessment являются проекты развития. Прямая калька "assessment objects" мне не сильно нравится, интересно мнение носителей языка.

what needs to be assessed / what types of projects should be subject to such assessment
Simply "what needs to be assessed" appears in lots and lots of documents about environmental impact studies. Google /"environmental impact" "what needs to be assessed"/ for examples.
Here, in case you want to be more specific (because "what" could mean "what aspects", as in water pollution, topsoil disturbance, atmospheric emissions, etc.), the alternative in brackets might work better. I was going to say "what types of facilities and areas", but you said it's definitely "projects", so that should be OK.

Discussion
At the same time, the practical and legislative experience of applying environmental assessment for development of regional plans and programmes to a great extent has formed the modern concept of assessment objects.
