Identifying Sustainability Indicators of Strategic Environmental Assessment for Power Planning
Asian Development Bank | July 2015
Abstract
This book is the second in a three-volume series of studies arising from the project Ensuring Sustainability of the
Greater Mekong Subregion Regional Power Development. The project aimed to assess the impacts of alternative
directions for development of the power sector in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) through a strategic
environmental assessment (SEA); develop recommendations on how to minimize and mitigate harmful impacts
in the power sector; and provide capacity building for GMS countries in the conduct of SEAs, and support their
integration into the power planning process. This volume shows how a set of indicators can be used to analyze
power development plans in the GMS to achieve greater sustainability. It explains why these particular indicators
were selected, why they are important, how they can be measured, and what the indicators reveal.
