Beyond current SEA practice

Therivel, Riki; Jones, Michael; Jenkins, Bryan

Abstract

This chapter brings together the findings of the IAIA Prague conference theme ‘Beyond Current SEA Practice' and other supporting literature to consider the status of current SEA practice and how it can be improved. A key outcome of this analysis was concern over the current disconnection between SEA and planning processes, which in turn means that truly positive environmental outcomes are only seldom achieved. The chapter concludes with practical ideas about going beyond current SEA practice based on ideas being developed by SEA practitioners to enable more sustainable planning decisions.
