Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a process used to evaluate the environmental impacts of proposed policies, plans, or programs before they are finalized. It helps decision-makers consider environmental factors and sustainability during planning, aiming to prevent negative effects on the environment. Through SEA, potential impacts are assessed, and alternatives can be explored to enhance positive outcomes and mitigate harm. This proactive approach ensures that environmental considerations are integrated into the decision-making process, ultimately promoting more sustainable development.
