Environment & green economy

A healthy environment and equitable access to ecosystem goods and services are crucial for sustainable development, but they are increasingly threatened. To improve lives around the globe for the long term, we must change our relationship with the environment: growth and sustainability can go hand in hand if this imperative is met at all levels. An inclusive green economy offers a possible pathway.

Dear all, Very useful discussion! Thanks to Juan and the team of the Mainstreaming Facility to trigger it! And thanks to all participants for very interesting inputs. I also strongly believe in the need to enhance the use of SEAs and other environmental assessment tools to strengthen the...

Dear Eloisa, Thank you for the further insight. With regards to "integrating the SEA within the planning itself", I basically mean preparing an SEA as an integral component of the planning process itself. Indeed, it seems we are a bit late for this in the case of 4 of the planning processes, but...

Hello Joan (and all), Thank you for your detailed response. Indeed, our initial focus is on the policy making processes around the national urban policy, and making sure that the relevant regulating outcomes include SEA principles (for instance, as you mention, that the regulation defining urban...

Hi Eloisa, Thank you for your post and for presenting the context for the SEA in Haiti. I come back to some of my earlier comments. There is no single approach to SEA, and we need to find it for each particular SEA. This is especially true in the context of EU development cooperation, where there...

Being a large infrastructure project, we find in your examples aspects that we often find missing also at project-level EIA (lack of feasible alternatives, inclusion of associated projects). I like your conclusion that the mood is more important than the moment...

I would not fully agreed with this, because it put the focus of SEA on the ability to reach some kind accurate statement about the environmental consequences of a plan or program. If...

Hi Juan I agree with you that "late" SEAs can bring benefits: that is so when the right "mood" is in place. As conclusion I would say that the MOOD is more important than the MOMENT.An SEA is successful when the institutions involved are fully interested in its results. You asked to give an example...
