Abstract
The Pope’s encyclical Laudato si’ draws our attention to the great challenges posed by sustainability objectives, questioning the institutions, the scientific community and civil society regarding the policies to be adopted and the tools to be used. This contribution focuses on Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) as an important tool to ensure sustainable development and reach a high level of environmental protection. In particular, considerations are explored by presenting a thought-provoking case study on the SEA of the urban plan for the municipality of Marzano di Nola, located in the province of Avellino in the Campania region. More specifically, this paper provides an integrated evaluation method to support the preparation of the preliminary environmental assessment report and the construction of scenarios for the adoption of urban plans, as an innovative tool that integrates objectives and multidimensional (economic, environmental and social) components, but also various approaches and models for the construction of a long-term shared vision.

Since 2000, many regional and local authorities in Italy have introduced SEA procedures—originally on a voluntary basis and then in implementing the Environment Code—as part of the approval process of plans or territorial programs (ANCE—National Association of Building Constructors—Report, 2013).
