This report presents the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for the Transport and Mobility Development Plan 2021-2035 (TLAK) in Estonia. The assessment evaluates how the plan's strategic goals—focused on reducing the environmental footprint of transport and improving mobility—align with national and international environmental targets and identifies potential environmental impacts across various sectors, including climate, air quality, and biodiversity.

This report presents a pilot Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of hydropower development in Viet Nam, conducted by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) for the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT). The study evaluates the hydropower plans within the context of Power Development Plan (PDP) VI, comparing the base scenario against alternatives where hydropower is replaced by thermal power. The SEA concludes that while hydropower is the least-cost option for meeting energy demands, current mitigation measures for social and environmental impacts are inadequate. It proposes a comprehensive mitigation framework based on international best practices, including the Impoverishment, Risk and Reconstruction (IRR) model for displaced people and community forestry for the zones of influence. The report recommends the full institutionalization of SEA into the PDP VII process to internalize external costs and ensure sustainable development.
