Strategic Environmental Assessment

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a process that evaluates the environmental impacts of proposed policies, plans, or programs before they are implemented. It helps decision-makers understand how their choices may affect the environment and ensures that sustainability is considered early in planning. By assessing potential environmental consequences, SEA aims to promote informed decision-making, encouraging approaches that protect natural resources and support clean, healthy ecosystems while still achieving development goals. This proactive evaluation fosters a balance between economic growth and environmental stewardship.
