All resources are for all. Nature impose no restrictions. All barriers, boundaries, restrictions are manmade. Human resources are suffering. Natural resources are depleting. All available resources should be managed judiciously for sustainable development and green growth. Live and let live. Attempt to leave the universe better than you found. This is Vision and Mission of INTERNATIONAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT ORGANISATION.
All of these challenges are exacerbated by ever rising demand – over the next 40 years estimates are that demand for fresh water will rise 50%, demand for food will rise 70%, and demand for energy will nearly double – all in the same period that we need to tackle climate change, depletion of rivers and aquifers, and deforestation.
Without clean water, healthy oceans, unpolluted air, fertile soil, and rich biodiversity, human wellbeing is threatened. There is an urgent need to redress this balance and for the economy and society at large to reconnect with nature. Nature-Based Solutions are highly relevant and deeper knowledge to lever action in the nature cycle – about its actors, the environment and social impacts, and associated intervention strategies for a more sustainable future is required.
