A practical guide on how to carry out strategic environmental assessment (SEA). The book presents
a "how-to-do-it" approach for the practitioner, and takes account of the requirements of the 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 decision making. Employing real-life case
studies, each chapter presents a range of techniques and discusses what the final product should look like.
A final chapter discusses resources and capacity building. The approach and techniques should be useful for
anyone carrying out an SEA, but particularly for practitioners responsible for implementing the SEA
Directive.
