ဖော်ပြချက်/အကြောင်းအရာ:
"Myanmar is rich in natural resources and is a global biodiversity hotspot. It is also a
country in the midst of a huge political and social change. For three decades, Myanmar
was ruled by a military junta. In 2015, free elections were held, and since then the
government has been grappling with the challenge of tackling poverty and developing the
country. However, the government is aware of the importance of managing its natural
wealth in a sustainable way as expressed in the Myanmar Sustainable Development Plan
(MSDP). This vision is supported by a recent World Bank The Changing Wealth of Nations
report that argues that the management of natural resources is critical to long-term
sustainable development (Lange, Wodon, and Carey 2018).
Myanmar’s forests and fishing industry are two significant contributors to the
economy, and yet these sectors are also potentially under threat from overexploitation
and mismanagement. The management of solid waste, air pollution, and the use of
plastics provides another growing challenge. In addition, the role of government and
other stakeholders in the management of these sectors and issues is central to whether
the government will succeed in reversing the current trends and be able to find a longterm sustainable solution to the problem.
This report explores the issues and challenges faced and the legal and institutional
context. Through a lens of poverty reduction, social inclusion and participation, and
economic growth, the report tells a story of an urgent need for institutional support
and reform, improvements in the enforcement against illegal extraction of resources,
behavior change in all relevant stakeholders, institutional capacity building, increased
funding, and improvements in data collection and analysis. If these recommendations
are acted on, then Myanmar can reverse the negative trends and lead its environment on
a path toward a more sustainable future..."
