Natural Resources Policy.

The Natural Resources Policy 2017 identifies three national priorities for the management of natural resources building on opportunities and challenges described in preceding chapters. Priorities follow: 1) Delivering nature-based solutions - healthy, resilient and diverse ecosystems can provide solutions for the benefit of society to the big challenges it faces. 2) Increasing renewable energy and resource efficiency has a crucial role to play in green growth. 3) Taking a place-based approach, as communities are best placed to shape and understand local priorities and opportunities and to find practical solutions that bring the widest possible benefits. .
