The Nature and Environment Policy Plan Caribbean Netherlands 2020–2030 sets out how land and water will be managed to protect nature while supporting the well-being of island communities. The plan focuses on restoring and protecting coral reefs, improving water quality, reducing erosion, and conserving important habitats and species.
It takes an integrated approach, recognising that nature, the economy, and society are closely connected. By promoting sustainable tourism, fisheries, and local food production, the plan aims to balance economic development with nature conservation. Education, enforcement, and research play a key role in ensuring long-term results.
Each island develops its own implementation plan based on local priorities, with support from the national government. Together, these efforts aim to build resilient ecosystems that can support current and future generations.
