National Environmental Policy – NEP National Environmental Policy Principles
 Implementing the National Environmental PolicyMyanmar Climate Change Policy Myanmar Climate Change Policy, the policy recommendations and measures within its six sectoral clusters.
 Myanmar Climate Change Strategy (2018-2030) and Myanmar Climate Change Master Plan (2018-2030),
which builds on the MCCSAP,
 sustainable management of natural resources for healthy ecosystems
 building a resilient society through education, science and technology.

 Two strategic pathways
increasing adaptive capacities of vulnerable
communities and sectors to enhance resiliencecreating and maximizing opportunities for potential
sectors to follow a low carbon development pathway
ensuring benefits to households and all economic
sectors.

SIX
POLICYRECOMM
ENDATONS

Healthy ecosystems

1. Ensure that actions undertaken under Myanmar’s national policies on food and water;
2. Maintain growth and productivity of food systems, including in the agriculture, fisheries andlivestock sectors, through low-carbon, climate-resilient and gender-responsive actions;
3. Adopt and implement efficient water management and governance practices particularly inclimate-vulnerable States and Regions, including mountainous areas, flood-prone areas, deltaregions and dry zones;
4. Ensure that Integrated Water Resources Management and other appropriate means are taken
into account to ensure the sustainability of water resources
5. Ensure that actions undertaken under Myanmar’s national polices on environment, land useand forestry,
6. Promote sustainable natural resource management, preserve, conserve, and rehabilitatebiodiversity and natural ecosystems in order to ensure the provision of ecosystem services

Take anticipatory action to prevent or minimise environmental damage
before it occurs by avoiding, prohibiting or controlling threatening
activities;

Low-carbon andresilient growth

Promote, protect and conserve the natural environment and recognise
its complete and intrinsic value (tangible or non-tangible, economic or non-economic, to the natural, cultural and spiritual
heritage of Myanmar);

Resilient urban andrural settlements

Encourage shared responsibility of people for the protection, conservation, andequitable sharing of benefits and resources of environment, and cooperation
across sectors and stakeholders

Human wellbeing

Ensure that actions undertaken under Myanmar’s
national, sub-national, andlocal policies and plans on urban and rural settlements integrate climate change
adaptation and mitigation

Knowledge, awarenessand research

1. Ensure that actions undertaken under Myanmar’s national policies to becomplementary to and/or support actions under this Policy;
