Environment

Blessed with an abundance of natural resources, New Zealanders live in a global environment of increasing demand for food, timber, oil, minerals and other resources that we are well-placed to produce. We are also exposed to natural hazards and increased risk from climate change. Our economic prosperity and future wellbeing is inextricably linked to how well we manage our natural resources and the related risks.

Steering the correct course between sometimes conflicting economic and environmental considerations is no easy task. For many years MartinJenkins has been helping organisations address some of New Zealand’s most complex and important natural resource management issues. Our approach is strategic, pragmatic, and focused on building win-win outcomes.
