Why is it important?
The study offers an insight into the implementation of multilateral environmental agreements and the challenges that developing countries face in their attempts at balancing sustainable development with the effective use of their natural resources. It consequently recommends ways by which some of the identified challenges can be mitigated.
Perspectives
In our world today, the control over and the use of a country’s natural resources (and the biological diversity of which they are a part) usually present a lot of challenges for both policy makers and implementing agencies and institutions. These challenges range from weak institutional capacities and technocratic hurdles to opposition from local communities for whom policies may be meant for. However, if such challenges are effectively mitigated, large prospects usually associated with the sustainable use and management of these natural resources may be realised.
