Presentations at E(S)IA/SEA high-level meeting Georgia

5 January 2016

The NCEA delivered two presentations, on SEA for land use plans and SEA for cumulative effects assessment, at a high level round-table in Georgia (11 December). The round-table was organised by Georgia’s Ministry of Environment together with UNECE (in the framework of EaP GREEN) and the NCEA, and all relevant ministries were represented. It was held in order to share benefits of application of environmental (and social) impact assessment (ESIA) and strategic environmental assessment (SEA), and to support establishment of E(S)IA and SEA systems in Georgia. The meeting is considered an important step towards adoption of the new law for E(S)IA and SEA.
