Purpose

Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) is a process that aims to provide decision makers and affected stakeholders with timely and relevant information on the environmental impacts of a policy, plan or programme (PPP), thereby providing opportunities to make the PPP more environmentally sound.

Benefits

Land use and the environment are connected in fundamentally important ways. The appropriate use of land is therefore central to efforts to work towards environmentally sustainable development (RCEP 2002). Consequently, it is important to gain a better understanding of the relationship between land use and environmental change.
