Natural Resources and Environmental Governance

Natural resources are materials like water, minerals, forests, and air that come from our environment and are essential for life and economic activities. Environmental governance refers to the systems, policies, and practices used to manage and protect these resources sustainably, ensuring they are used fairly and responsibly for current and future generations. It involves governments, communities, and organizations working together to make informed decisions, enforce laws, and promote conservation efforts to maintain ecological balance and prevent resource depletion or environmental harm.
