Resource Charter
The Natural Resource Charter is a set of principles for governments and societies on how to use the opportunities created by natural resources effectively.
Natural resources have the potential to be transformative if they are properly harnessed for development. However, the value chain from the discovery of natural assets through to their conversion into a productive economy is long and complex. This is why the process has so often been unsuccessful.
The Natural Resource Charter seeks to provide guidelines and standards to inform and improve natural resource management. It aims to ensure that the opportunities provided by new discoveries and commodity booms will never again be missed.
What makes the Natural Resource Charter unique? It is an international convention in the making, but one that will be built by a participatory process guided by academic research.
