Based on Five Core Principles

1. Meeting the needs of people is fundamental

2. People and nature are fundamentally linked

3. Cross scale and cross level interaction can be managed to positively impact development outcomes

4. Governance mechanisms are vital tools for achieving equitable access to and provision of ecosystem services

5. Building resilience is about enhancing capacities to sustainably develop in an uncertain world
