Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a systematic process used to evaluate the environmental impacts of proposed policies, plans, or programs before they are implemented. It helps decision-makers understand potential environmental consequences and promotes sustainable development by integrating environmental considerations into the planning process. The SEA process typically involves assessing various alternatives, engaging stakeholders, and providing recommendations to minimize negative impacts. By doing so, it ensures that environmental factors are considered alongside economic and social factors, leading to more informed and balanced decision-making in areas such as urban planning, transportation, and natural resource management.
