The Launch of The Natural Resource Charter
Published to The Oslo Summit @ 2009-03-31
We are honored to be hosting the formal global launch of The Natural Resource Charter. This is a set of principles for stakeholders in societies on how to use the opportunities created by natural resources effectively.
Yet in the past, these opportunities have often been missed, often by ethical and economical mismanagement. Many resource abundant countries have consequently remained poor. The Natural Resource Charter seeks to provide guidelines and standards to inform and improve natural resource management. It is an international convention in the making, but one that will be built by a participatory process guided by academic research.
