"The First Environmental and Natural Resources Action Plan of the Caribbean Community Environmental and Natural Resources Policy Framework July 2017 - June 2022 (2017)"

The Community Environmental and Natural Resources Policy Frameworki has been developed as an integral part of the Caribbean Community Single Market and Economy (CSME) which officially commenced in 2006.

The purpose of this Policy Framework is to provide an enabling framework for environmental and natural resources management in the Caribbean Community, acknowledging the vital role that land, air, water and oceans play in maintaining the economic, social and environmental development of the Community. It, therefore, serves as the Umbrella Policy Framework for the sustainable management and use of the Community’s environmental and natural resources. It provides the guiding principles and the long term goals which will form the basis for the making of rules and guidelines to give overall direction to planning for the protection, conservation and sustainable use of the environmental and natural resources of the Community and its Member States.

The Community Environmental and Natural Resources Management Policy Framework, therefore, provides an overarching framework for the rationalisation of the Community’s approach to the sustainable management of the environmental and natural resources of the Community and its Member States. It is designed in such a manner to facilitate an interface between the Community and its Member States and the international community and third states.
