Strategic Environmental Assessment
Purpose
Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) is a process that aims to provide decision makers and affected stakeholders with timely and relevant information on the environmental impacts of a policy, plan or programme (PPP), thereby providing opportunities to make the PPP more environmentally sound.
Benefits
Land use and the environment are connected in fundamentally important ways. The appropriate use of land is therefore central to efforts to work towards environmentally sustainable development (RCEP 2002). Consequently, it is important to gain a better understanding of the relationship between land use and environmental change.
Audience
Urban and regional planners and all those wishing to build and assess their knowledge of the topic.
Learning method
A detailed knowledge builder which offers a commentary, key terms, context and background plus links to associated websites. Additionally a range of further reading is provided for those who wish to become expert in the subject. Includes voluntary self assessment for recording continuous professional development (CPD).
