Turning green the strategic way: The role and potential of strategic environmental assessment in securing a green economy

This paper provides a preliminary exploration of the links between SEA and green economy, and the role of SEA in supporting policies, planning and decision-making for green growth. It introduces the concept of green economy/growth and considers some of the main international initiatives. But it is not the primary purpose of this paper to analyse or unpack the concept of green economy in detail. Reference is made to other sources where more detailed discussion of the focus, dynamics and progress regarding green economy can be found.
