Environment and natural resources management

The sustainability of natural resources and ecosystems are required for human wellbeing and economic growth. Cowater’s integrated approach to natural resources management fosters inclusive governance and adapts to diverse contexts, while ensuring equitable access to resources. We develop national online systems for environmental impact assessments that streamlines licensing processes while enabling greater citizen participation. We conduct strategic environmental assessments to identify sustainable approaches to land use.
