Integrated Environmental Management

Integrated Environmental Management (IEM) is a comprehensive approach to ensuring sustainable use of natural resources by coordinating environmental planning and actions across different sectors and stakeholders. It aims to balance ecological health, economic development, and social well-being by considering all environmental, social, and economic factors together. IEM involves assessing impacts, setting policies, and implementing practices that minimize harm to the environment while supporting community needs. This holistic approach promotes collaboration and informed decision-making to protect ecosystems, improve quality of life, and ensure resources are available for future generations.
