520			_aEnvironmental policy is essential for addressing pressing environmental challenges and achieving sustainable development. In this context, Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a systematic process that analyses and addresses the environmental impacts of policies, plans, programmes and other strategic initiatives. It goes beyond project-level Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and considers the cumulative effects of multiple actions and decisions. The paper aims to explain SEA, including its definitions and interpretations. It highlights the importance of integrating environmental considerations with economic and social factors and emphasizes SEA's role in supporting sustainable development. It also highlights the growing recognition of the need to consider environmental factors in decision-making processes. In conclusion, it underscores the significance of SEA as a proactive intervention in strategic decision-making processes.
