Understanding Natural Assets Supports Better Decision Making

The NAM Project has the following goals:

	Goal 1: Understanding the value of natural assets: Gain a better understanding of the benefits natural assets provide like a clean water supply, recreational opportunities and climate protection and how important they are to everyday life.
	Goal 2: Identifying climate-related risks: This project will identify risks such as drought, flooding and ecosystem degradation so we can plan ahead and reduce impacts.
	Goal 3: Prioritizing protection, restoration, and management: The project will identify which natural assets and services are most important to protect, restore or manage.
	Goal 4: Providing cost-effective and resilient service delivery: Natural assets can provide services that might otherwise require costly infrastructure.
	Goal 5: Building Partnerships and Stewardship is Essential: The project supports working closely with First Nations, landowners, municipalities and community groups.
