The Natural Resource Charter

The Natural Resource Charter is a set of guidelines that helps governments and policymakers manage a country's natural resources—such as oil, gas, minerals, and forests—so they benefit the economy and society. It offers principles and best practices for making decisions about resource extraction, revenue collection, and investments. The goal is to ensure those resources are used sustainably, equitably, and transparently, avoiding issues like corruption and environmental damage, while maximizing the long-term benefits for citizens. Essentially, it's a roadmap for turning natural wealth into lasting development and prosperity.
