Strategic Environmental Assessment to the 1991 UN/ECE Espoo Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context

This procedure concerns a protocol to an international convention on assessing the environmental impact of plans and programmes. It aims to ensure that environmental considerations are integrated into decision-making processes for policies, plans, and programmes that may have significant environmental effects.

This protocol affects countries that are parties to the Espoo Convention. It promotes cooperation and transparency in assessing potential transboundary environmental impacts, helping to prevent pollution and protect shared natural resources.
