Training workshop on SEA scoping

The training workshop on SEA scoping is organized by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources Protection of Georgia in cooperation with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and ‘Georgia’s Environmental Outlook’ (GEO) in the framework of the EU funded Programme ‘Greening the Economies in the Eastern Neighbourhood’ (EaP GREEN).

The aim of the training workshop is to revisit practical aspects of conducting SEA scoping with special emphasis on the role of environmental and health authorities in scoping, as well as on the formulation of a scoping opinion, as stipulated by the draft Environmental Assessment Code of Georgia.

After the training workshop the participants should be able to assess the relevance of information that is provided in the SEA scoping report, as well as to develop a scoping opinion. The conclusions from the workshop should also support both ministries in developing a detailed procedure for cooperation between the environmental and health authorities during the SEA process.

The outcomes of the training workshop will be incorporated into the practical recommendations on the application of SEA in Georgia according to the draft Environmental Assessment Code.
