Health is routinely considered in strategic environmental assessment (SEA) and environmental impact assessment (EIA), following requirements of ...an Union directives and the Protocol on Strategic Environmental Assessment to the Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context (Espoo Convention).
