Line of Intervention Support Framework 1

Actions to improve the effectiveness of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) processes for programmes, plans and projects.

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)

SEA aims to integrate environmental principles into the elaboration and adoption of plans and programmes, ensuring the sustainability of choices being made.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

EIA aims to achieve high levels of protection and quality of the environment by advance assessment of the possible consequences of projects and interventions.

Quality of Environmental Assessments

The QS1 Line works to improve the capacity of administrations to carry out the environmental assessment procedures effectively and easily, applying uniform criteria throughout Italy.

It aims to ensure adequate information on environmental assessment procedures in order to facilitate the active participation of citizens, to increase technical and procedural capabilities for environmental assessments and to share the out-comes of environmental monitoring .
