This unique sourcebook provides a global, state-of-the-art review of the rapidly evolving field of strategic
environmental assessment (SEA) that is intended to provide a baseline for the work of an OECD Task Team
on SEA and a UNEP initiative on integrated planning and assessment. It describes trends in application and
experience in different contexts world wide, providing in-depth coverage of the status of SEA systems and
practice in developed, transitional and developing countries and by a range of development agencies. The
book draws on a large body of published and unpublished material, and contributions from a wide range
of individual experts, organizations and agencies. It provides an unparalleled and invaluable understanding
of the emerging scope and potential of SEA and describes how, when and where it is being used. The
sourcebook includes a probing review of concepts, terminology, approaches and tools of SEA, and a
comparative analysis of the different types of existing SEA systems. The volume also contains many case
examples illustrating SEA practice in different countries and contexts, a full set of references and a number
of appendices containing source materials.
