Abstract

This chapter explores the use of objectives as part of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA). As suggested by the title, it does this by considering objectives in several ways. To illustrate the points made in our discussion we draw on UK practice examples, own research and also from international SEA literature. Looking at how objectives are set for SEA, how objectives of SEA are drawn up and how SEA scrutinises objectives in policies, plans and programmes shows how, far from being a simple procedural technique, the use of objectives is embedded in the politics of the environment, sustainable development and decision-making.
