Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a systematic process used to evaluate environmental effects of policies, plans, and programs (PPP) at a broader level, rather than individual projects. Unlike EIA, which is project-specific, SEA integrates environmental considerations into the early stages of policy-making and strategic planning. It helps identify long-term cumulative impacts, ensures sustainability goals are met, and supports transparent decision-making. At GESC, we conduct SEAs aligned with international standards, offering evidence-based insights to government authorities, developers, and planners to balance development objectives with environmental protection.
