This transparency stimulates authorities to work together, in coalition with private sector and civil society, in a formalised manner.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Various approaches<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>But how did this work out for SRJS partners? Blom: \u2018The ten cases in this publication show various approaches, depending on the priorities in the landscape. In some cases, concrete infrastructure investments asked for active participation of CSOs in ESIA and permitting for those projects. In other case, land use planning in the landscape called for integrated SEA and planning processes.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overview of experiences<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>Looking back at these experiences, the publication sets out what the various approaches brought the SRJS partners. How did ESIA and SEA work for them: what went well, which challenges remained? With ten cases from ten countries across three continents, this booklet presents an overview of experiences with ESIA and SEA drawn from the strategic partnership Shared Resources Joint Solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/06\/SRJS-2020-Environmental-Assessment-Landscape-Management.pdf\">Download the booklet<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>\u2018During a webinar in October 2020, we discussed the cases presented in the publication with 15 civil society partners and drew lessons from the various experiences,\u2019 Edy Blom says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>In May 2021, the full papers on these experiences will be presented at the conference of the International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA) in May 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"background background-preset-primary\" id=\"block_6054b7d1b0d75\">\n             <div class=\"dark custom-padding-top\">\n    \n\n\n<div class=\"smallteam-members__name12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n\t<div id=\"team-members-block_6054b7dab0d76\" class=\"team-members team-members-block block\">\n\t\t<span class=\"anchor-id\" id=\"\"><\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"team-members__title\">\n\t\t\t\t<div>Learn more?<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"team-members__body small-12 grid-x\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"team-members__item grid-x small-12 medium-6\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"team-members__image cell shrink\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"team-members__image-wrapper lazyload\" style=\"background-image:inherit;\" data-bg-image=\"url(&#039;https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/89IUCN-oktober-scaled.jpg&#039;)\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/03\/89IUCN-oktober-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px;
