ABSTRACT

The use of strategic environmental assessment (SEA) has increased rapidly

in recent years, not only in number but also in modes of application. It is

important to understand developments in introducing or improving the use

of SEA in countries and institutions. At the Prague SEA Conference, the

dissemination of SEA information and how this can be facilitated through

SEA knowledge centres was discussed. This chapter reviews the status of SEA

knowledge centres and documents their services, users and aspects of interest.

Specific details on the type of information and guidance available from selected

SEA knowledge centres can be found in the boxes included in this chapter.
