This is the first book to present in a coherent manner the theory and practice of environmental impact
assessment (EIA) and strategic environmental assessment (SEA) follow-up. Without some form
of follow-up, the consequences of impact assessments and the environmental outcomes of development
projects will remain unknown. This handbook examines both EIA follow-up and the emerging practice
of SEA follow-up, and showcases follow-up procedures in various countries in Europe, North America
and Australasia.
