Expert group 3: Natural Resources and their
Sustainable Use
The focus of this expert group is on the
management of natural resources and their
sustainable use in large river basins with special
emphasis on sustainable water use, land cover
change, and biodiversity conservation (focusing on
fish stocks) in the Volga basin. The expert group
will explore major problems in natural resources
management and the coordination of policies, tools
and activities among diverse stakeholder groups. Its
major foci will be on the following cross-cutting
problems:
-
How to improve the coordination of the
activities of those organisations responsible for
the sustainable use of natural resources and what
tools can be used for this purpose;
-
How to effectively incorporate the sustainable
use of natural resources into integrated river
basin management;
-
Why many of the existing strategies and
programmes in the sustainable use of natural
resources in large river basins are not always
effective in practice
-
How to build stable and regular partnerships
between diverse stakeholder groups in the
sustainable use of natural resources and how to
increase their participation in environmental
decision-making
