The principles and practices of environmental protection and sustainability for local administration, including natural resource management, climate change, and disaster risk reduction.

Environmental Policy: The study of laws, regulations and guidelines surrounding environmental management in local administration.
Environmental Planning: Examines how to develop strategies for sustainable growth using available non-renewable resources.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA): The study of environmental assessment processes are performed and what goes into preparing an environmental report.
Green Building: The study of energy-efficient building design, utilizing natural materials which result in fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
Sustainable Development: The balancing of economic growth, social welfare, and environmental protection.
Water Resource Management: The process of allocating, regulating and protecting the usage of water resources.
Waste Management: The planning and implementation of strategies and infrastructure for managing waste from various sources.
Climate Change: The study of how climate change poses a challenge to local administration, what adaptation measures can be taken and how to mitigate its effects.
Renewable Energy: The promotion of the use of sustainable energy sources such as wind, solar and hydro-power in local administration.
Resource Efficiency: Uses of resources while improving their utilization, thereby conserving natural resources and minimizing waste.
Air Quality Management: The management of vehicular emissions and industrial waste that pose direct effect on air quality.
Natural Disasters: Addressing the risks and impacts of floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters.
Biodiversity: The preservation and conservation of plant and animal species, including provision of habitat and cultivation of public trees.
Land Use Planning: The process of regulating and controlling the use of land within a particular governance zone.
Environmental Education: Raising awareness and imparting knowledge on environmental issues to the community thereby creating awareness.
Public Participation: Encouraging and facilitating public participation in environmental management decision making.
Environmental Regulation and Compliance: This type of management involves the creation and enforcement of regulations and policies to ensure environmental protection and sustainability.
Pollution Prevention and Control: This type of management aims to prevent or minimize the impact of pollutants on the environment through effective control measures.
Waste Management: This type of management involves the collection, transport, treatment, and disposal of waste in a way that minimizes its impact on the environment.
Resource Management: This type of management involves the sustainable use and conservation of natural resources such as forests, water, and minerals.
Environmental Education and Awareness: This type of management involves creating awareness among communities and individuals about the importance of environmental protection and sustainability.
Energy Management: This type of management involves the efficient use of energy resources and the development of renewable energy sources.
Green Procurement: This type of management involves the procurement of environmentally friendly products and services.
Sustainable Land Use and Planning: This type of management involves the sustainable use and planning of land to ensure the preservation of ecosystems and biodiversity.
Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation: This type of management involves reducing greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate climate change impacts and developing strategies to adapt to its effects.
Corporate Social Responsibility: This type of management involves the integration of environmental concerns into the business operations of companies to promote sustainability.
"Environmental resources management aims to ensure that ecosystem services are protected and maintained for future human generations, and also maintain ecosystem integrity through considering ethical, economic, and scientific (ecological) variables."
"It is not, as the phrase might suggest, the management of the environment itself. Environmental resource management is the management of the interaction and impact of human societies on the environment."
"Environmental resource management tries to identify factors affected by conflicts that rise between meeting needs and protecting resources."
"Environmental resources management aims to ensure that ecosystem services are protected and maintained for future human generations, and also maintain ecosystem integrity through considering ethical, economic, and scientific (ecological) variables."
"Environmental resource management is linked to environmental protection, sustainability, integrated landscape management, natural resource management, fisheries management, forest management, and wildlife management, and others."
"It is thus linked to environmental protection, sustainability, integrated landscape management, natural resource management, fisheries management, forest management, and wildlife management, and others."
"Environmental resources management aims to... maintain ecosystem integrity."
