Handbuch strategische Umweltprüfung (SUP)

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a new and important instrument in environmental policy-making. The assessment of environmental impact on a higher planning level is a considerably more efficient instrument of political provision for environmental safeguards than the project-based approach used hitherto. SEA simultaneously ensures more efficient environmental protection and effectively disencumbers the licensing processes on the project level. This volume is aimed at planning experts, both those working for official planning authorities as well as those active in commercial planning offices. It covers all related specialist fields, including regional planning, transport planning, water and energy, waste management, tourism and other related areas. The guide is arranged for quick reference.
