Description:

* Provides a "how-to" approach to strategic environmental assessment (SEA)--ideal for all practitioners
* Applicable to all levels of SEA, from policy to program, from international to local
* The only book covering the new EC Directive 2001/42/EC--widely known as the "SEA Directive."

"Strategic Environmental Assessment in Action" is a practical guide on how to carry out strategic environmental assessment (SEA). The book presents a coherent "how-to-do-it" approach for the practitioner, and it is the first publication to take account of the requirements of the recent EC Directive 2001/42/EC--widely known as the "SEA Directive."
The book introduces SEA and the SEA Directive, and considers different stages of SEA including setting the context, describing the baseline, identifying alternatives, predicting and evaluating impacts, and using the SEA information in decisionmaking. Through real-life case studies, each chapter presents a range of techniques and discusses how the final product should look. A final chapter discusses resources and capacity building. The approach and techniques are useful for anyone carrying out an SEA, but particularly for practitioners responsible for implementing the SEA Directive.
