What is the Strategic Environmental Assessment? Explain its process.

### Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)  

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a systematic process used to evaluate the environmental impacts of policies, plans, and programs (PPPs) before they are implemented. Unlike project-level Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), SEA operates at a higher decision-making level and ensures that environmental considerations are integrated into strategic planning. This helps in promoting sustainable development by assessing the long-term consequences of policies and identifying possible alternatives that minimize environmental harm.  

SEA is particularly important for environmental health because it helps in early identification of potential health risks linked to environmental changes, such as air and water pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change. By incorporating environmental health concerns into strategic decisions, SEA ensures that human well-being is protected from harmful environmental impacts.  

### Process of Strategic Environmental Assessment  

The SEA process is systematic and includes several key stages that ensure environmental and health concerns are integrated into strategic planning. These stages are:  

#### 1. Screening  
Screening determines whether a proposed policy, plan, or program requires an SEA. Not all strategies require an SEA; only those with significant potential environmental and health impacts undergo the assessment. This step involves legal and regulatory frameworks to identify if SEA is mandatory or _______ _______ ___ ___ _________ ________.
