Environmental Resource Management

Environment and developmental issues are important for any developing country. India is moving to be one of top economies of the world and so understanding the interrelationship between environment, development and disaster risk is important. After Environment Protection Act 1986 and World Commission on Environment and Development report,1987 few major actions were taken for environmental protection. India is one of active players in Climate Change adaptation and mitigation and initiated many national and international initiative (International solar Alliance). Natural resource Management (NRM) refers to the sustainable use of major natural resources such as water, air, soil, minerals, forests, biodiversity (flora and fauna) and non-renewable resources (which are depleted more quickly than they can generate). The natural resource management provide the ecosystem services that in turn provide better quality of human life. Some of these natural resources are being depleted so fast that their management becomes very pivotal. The traditional fragmented approach is no longer viable and a more holistic approach to water management is essential. The 21st century society is facing all kind of problems related to Natural Resource Management. This requires smart and clear policies and transparent decision-making, besides application of new technological developments. The participant will learn about the way of managing these precious natural resources through the training programme.
