Lot 2: Sustainable Natural Resources Management (Environment, Biodiversity, Forests, Water, and Circular Economy)

NTU is the Consortium leader for providing services under SEA 2023 Lot 2. Our team holds specialised knowledge in sustainable natural resource management, land management, water management, forestry management and conservation, and sustainable waste management – the kind of expertise that is a must in implementing activities under this Lot. The major domains are, as follows: protection of natural resources and biodiversity, wastewater treatment, circular economy, pollution and environmental protection, ocean governance, land use planning and policies, water diplomacy and investments, agroforestry, deforestation, and converting waste to energy.

Our horizontal services provide comprehensive support in key areas to ensure effective policy development, project implementation and knowledge sharing. We provide policy support, including analysis, EU policy alignment and multi-stakeholder dialogue to promote effective decision-making. Project and intervention support ranges from programming and strategic design to practical implementation, such as integration of EU priorities, support for EFSD+ and legal and regulatory analysis. NTU also provides analytical and technical expertise, offering data-driven insights, intervention cycle management and specialised scientific input. Finally, our knowledge management services improve communication, capacity building and dissemination of best practice through training, public engagement and high-impact events.
