Practice Report:Sustainbilitiy Impact Assessment in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta:both necessary and impossible?
 Rapid economic integration of Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta under the policy of “One Country Two Systems” and the consequent social and environmental degradation mean that assessment of sustainability impacts of development projects is essential. However, some fundamental problems are identified for the two systems to carry out SIA before embarking on development projects: minimal integration in terms of institutional set-up, strategies and policies concerning sustainable development; pre-set sustainability indicators rather than tailor-made ones to assess policies, programmes and projects of various nature; and rather different social, economic and environmental norms and development problems. In the short run, given these constraints, SIA in the region though “necessary” is rather “impossible”. Nevertheless, recommendations are put forward to facilitate regional cooperation of SIA practices in the longer term.

 Possibilities and effectiveness of transboundary sustainability impact assessment (SIA) hinge on how the processes are institutionalised in specific socio-economic and political contexts. This paper outlines briefly a synthesized SIA framework that is then used to review the current state of play of SIA in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta, two systems under one country. It identifies how existing institutional set-up hampers the effectiveness of SIA. Recommendations are put forward to facilitate the eventual realisation of SIA in the region.

摘要：在“一国两制”的方针下，香港与珠江三角洲地区的经济发展得到了快速的一体化整合。由此产生的社会和环境退化意味着评估可持续性发展项目的影响是至关重要的。然而，在着手发展项目之前，一些用来两个体制下的可持续发展影响评估的基本问题需要确定。这些问题包括，最小一体化体制的建立，关于可持续发展的战略和政策；关于可持续发展的最低限度的整合，预先设定而不是度身定造以评估政策的可持续发展指标，还有更加不同的社会、经济和环境规范和发展问题。在短期内，考虑到这些系统参考指数，区域内的可持续影响评估不是不可能的，而是必需的。而且，在更长的时期内，一些提出的建议能够促进可持续影响评估在区域性合作的实施。

 跨区域可持续发展影响评估的可能性和效果取决于如何处理把过程制度化到特定的社会经济和政治背景。本文简要的概述了可持续发展影响评估框架，然后用这个框架检验在当前“一国两制”的状况下可持续发展影响评估如何在香港和珠江三角洲发挥作用，指出如何确定现有的机构设置阻碍可持续发展影响评估的有效性，并提出一些促进区域内可持续发展影响评估最终实现的政策建议。
