The Contribution of Strategic Environmental Assessment to Transport Policy Governance

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), understood as a practice that aims to incorporate the environmental dimension into strategic decisions such as policies, plans and programmes, already has a substantial tradition. According to Dalal-Clayton and Sadler, the formalization phase of this instrument began in the early 1990s, and its international dissemination can be said to have started in 2001 (Dalal-Clayton, Sadler, 2005).
