Sustainable Economic Development

The global economy is inextricably dependent on the health of the natural environment. The ICCF recognizes that responsible resource management and economic development are not at odds; rather, environmental health directly affects the bottom line.

 

Here are locations of
several on-the-ground sustainable economic development projects our partners are running
around the world.

Empowering local communities to responsibly manage their natural resource wealth enhances their ability to create jobs and
draw from the economic benefits of nature. Developing these natural assets for the long-term alleviates poverty, which is
essential not only to that country’s stability and national security, but American security and interests as well.
