Resumen

This National Environmental Strategy is a multi-sectoral document aiming at achieving a sustainable environmental development thorough the formulation of appropriate, practical and comprehensive strategies based on the statements of the Constitution that under article 9 declares that the State shall take the necessary actions and arrangements to maintain the environment and preserve the wildlife. It is also considered a tool to ensure the national support for finalization of the procedures required and for the transformation of the strategy into a tangible reality and practical programs. The document is based on the following principles (i) improving the status quo of the environment; (ii) taking the precautionary measures to prevent environmental deterioration; (iii) imposing fines on the people and organisation causing the pollution resulting in environmental damages; and (iv) the principle of partnership. The Strategy covers the following sectors (1) Air; (2) Water; (3) Land uses and agriculture; (4) Marine and coastal environment; (5) Environment health; (6) Oil, industry and energy; (7) Environmental awareness and tourism; and (8) Biological diversity. In some cases, the document also adopts a cross-sectoral approach, i.e. integrating tourism and environment, transportation and environment, wastes and municipal waste management resulting from the activities of the oil, industry and energy sectors as being the greatest source generating gaseous, solid and liquid waste.
