Sustainable Management of Natural Resources (SMNR)

Environment (Wales) Act

NRW’s general purpose - pursue the sustainable management of natural resources:

NRW must

  • Pursue sustainable management of natural resources in

relation to Wales, and

  • Apply the principles of sustainable management of

natural resources in the exercise of its functions,

slide-12
SLIDE 12

The 9 Principles of SMNR

  • Manage adaptively, by planning, monitoring, reviewing and, where

appropriate, changing action.

  • Consider the appropriate spatial scale for action
  • Promote and engage in collaboration and co-operation
  • Make appropriate arrangements for public participation in decision-making
  • Take account of all relevant evidence and gather evidence in respect of

uncertainties

  • Take account of the benefits and intrinsic value of natural resources and

ecosystems

  • Take account of the short, medium and long term consequences of

actions;

  • Take action to prevent significant damage to ecosystems;
  • Take account of the resilience of ecosystems, in particular the following

aspects

Regulatory Principles

  • Deliver outcomes
  • Be intelligent
  • Prepared to challenge
  • Use the full range of tools available
  • Be flexible
  • Bring the right skills / expertise together
  • Be efficient and effective
  • Be clear on what we do and why

SLIDE 14

Setting Regulatory Principles in the context of SMNR

  • Regulation is more than the application of the law;
  • Formal regulation (underpinned by the law) can contribute to

delivery of sustainable management of natural resources and well- being, but the pressures on our natural environment show this is not the whole solution;

  • The solution is about doing something – intervening and regulating

actions and behaviours, and means doing things and looking at problems differently;

  • We need to understand the impact of our behaviours, as well as

understanding the behaviours of others; and

  • We need to recognise our limitations and constraints, and value the

benefit of collaboration to deliver the wider objectives for Wales – it’s not just about looking at what we, NRW, can do – it is what we, Wales, can do

NRW’s Favoured Approach

▪ Voluntary actions, ▪ Advice, guidance, knowledge, skills & experience development. ▪ Innovation ▪ Regulation ▪ Investment
