Abstract: Although strategic environmental assessments (SEA) are conducted for river basin management in many countries, there are considerable variations in approaches, institutional arrangements, impact assessment tools, scope, and procedures. In addition, the extent to which SEA addresses sustainability and is anchored to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) depends on several factors, particularly the impacts of climate change. This research proposes a SEA framework of action for sustainable river basin management under climate change that integrates the five dimensions or the 5Ps of the SDGs, i.e. People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnership. A selection of SEA tools to assess climate change impacts along the 5Ps was presented. In addition, the currently completed Thai river basin SEA reports were examined to assess whether and how climate change was considered. A systematic literature review and content analysis were conducted to establish the SEA framework for action and identify the SEA tools. A systematic literature review and content analysis were conducted, e.g., of peer-reviewed research publications and publicly available information and guidance documents, to establish the SEA framework for action and identify SEA tools. This study also examined the currently completed Thai river basin SEA reports to determine if and how climate change was considered. The results showed that 7 out of 9 SEA on river basins in Thailand currently consider climate change impacts, but not in all phases of SEA. The linkages between phases in analyzing climate change impacts were weak. There were only 4 reports that used qualitative tools in addition to quantitative tools in the analyses that were appropriate for predicting climate change impacts. As a result, most of the SEAs assessed in this study were insufficient in creating awareness of climate change impacts.
