The document outlines the consultation process for the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) program of Estonia's Transport and Mobility Development Plan 2021–2030. It details specific requests from the Environmental Board, Ministry of the Environment, and other bodies to include assessments of climate change impacts (floods and storms), air pollution (PM10 and PM2.5), and the cumulative effects of transport projects. The program was updated to include the Estonian Maritime Strategy, Natura 2000 assessment procedures, and the 'blue network' in its scope, while clarifying that the development plan remains a high-level strategic document rather than a detailed action plan.

  • The SEA program was updated to include climate change impacts, specifically focusing on the effects of floods and storms, as well as impacts on soil and potential pollution.
  • Air quality assessments in the program were expanded to include dust and particulate matter, specifically PM10 and PM2.5, though the level of detail will match the general nature of the development plan.
  • The Environmental Board requested that the program explicitly state whether goals from the 'Transport Development Plan 2014-2020' were achieved; in response, a short analysis of those results and the proposal for the 2021–2030 plan were added as appendices.
  • The program now includes a requirement for a separate sub-chapter for Natura 2000 assessments and mandates a full appropriate assessment if the implementation of the development plan cannot exclude impacts on Natura 2000 sites.
  • The scope of the SEA was expanded to include the 'blue network' and the assessment of cumulative impacts, both within the transport sector and across other sectors.
  • The Estonian Maritime Strategy was added to the list of strategic documents, and the SEA will now consider impacts on marine life (including underwater noise and invasive species), marine litter, and seabed use, such as for offshore wind farms.
  • The Ministry of Culture's proposal to include the improvement of the living environment and the principle of 'quality space' was integrated into the program's themes.
