<p><strong>Aim</strong>: This paper aims to understand how the concept of risk and risk<br />governance can be best articulated and integrated into Indonesia’s SEA.<br />Attention regarding health risks emerging from human interactions with<br />the physical environment has increased in Sustainable Development and<br />Planning (SDP). <strong>Methodology and Results</strong>: Strategic Environment<br />Assessment (SEA) is the current context-based methodology addressing<br />environmental and health risks of development planning in many<br />countries. Environmental and health risk assessment (EHRA) is an<br />integrated part of the SEA. EHRA, as a field of science, has evolved towards<br />specific needs in many sectors, e.g. dose-response, quantitative microbial<br />risk assessment, ecological risk assessment. The main challenge is how to<br />determine the suitable EHRA approaches and translate the fact-based<br />EHRA into risk-informed strategies in SDP. In Indonesia, the SEA is <br />mandatory for regional planning documents. However, there is limited<br />guidelines and application on EHRA in SEA. Through a meta-analysis, we<br />reviewed scholarly articles published from 2009 to 2019 available in<br />Google Scholar that report the concepts and implementation of EHRA and<br />SEA in various countries. <strong>Conclusion, significance and study impact</strong>: This<br />study has significant implications for the understanding of risk governance<br />in SDP.</p>
