Natural resource management within national jurisdiction

Managing a nation’s natural resources has proven to be particularly challenging, and many states have failed to meet their objectives.  CNRM is here to help manage the complex mix of political, economic and resource management challenges that accompanies responsibility for resource management.

Management of global commons

Global commons include the earth’s shared natural resources, such as the high seas, the atmosphere and outer space and the Antarctic in particular. Challenges similar to those facing nation states in their management of natural resources within their national jurisdiction, also face international institutions with an objective to mange global commons for the benefit of humankind as a whole.
