Abstract: The implementation of SEA is crucial for Sustainable Development and Governance, especially under global initiatives like the Global Gateway strategy aimed at enhancing connectivity between Europe and the Global South. The article addresses challenges in effective SEA implementation, such as regulatory differences and limited institutional capacity, while advocating for a unified global framework to standardize SEA practices, thereby increasing governance reliability. SEA facilitates the integration of environmental sustainability into spatial development plans through collaborative decision-making, fostering resilient communities. As ecological challenges grow, effective governance through SEA can facilitate the transition to greener infrastructure and resilient communities. Strengthening SEA practices will be essential for achieving the goals of the Green Gateway Initiative within the broader sustainable development agenda.
