Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a regulatory requirement for development across Europe, North America, Australasia and elsewhere, yet understanding the legal aspects is challenging. This comprehensive guide provides that understanding in a clear and straightforward way.
The introduction considers SEA and the law, explaining what SEA is, why it is needed, how it works and why it is required, as well as examining the role of the law. Part One provides an overview of international law, environmental impact assessment and international law, and also analyses the role of SEA in conservation conventions. Part Two considers how the European legal system works, including an overview of the current status of European law. Finally, the volume draws conclusions about the relationship and comparisons between international and European law generally, and in regulating SEA.
