Integrating Climate Change Consideration into Strategic Environmental Assessment within the Context of China

Article Preview

Abstract:

Climate change has been highlighted as an apparent and urgent issue in environmental research fields. Transport, as the third carbon emitter sector in China, is partly responsible for climate change. It is necessary to modify the existing Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) system for transportation planning so as to cope with the challenges of Climate Change. In this paper, we tried to integrate climate change consideration into SEA process, and proposed the framework and indicator system for SEA considering climate change.
