Strategic Environmental Assessment in Action

In the words of Therivel (Oxford Brookes U. School of Planning, UK), "Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) is a process that aims to integrate environmental and sustainability considerations in strategic decision-making." She offers a manual on the design and implementation of SEA programs, particularly focusing on the implementation of the European Union Directive 2001/42/EC "on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment." and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Protocol on SEA.
