5) Increasing the adoption of comprehensive risk management practices;
6) Supporting the adoption of sound environment auditing of past and planned developments, in order to provide support to initiatives which not only provide economic bene ts but also improve the environmental situation;
7) Enhancing structural reforms in support of fair competition and ef ciency; and
8) Incentivising investment in the rational and ef cient use of natural resources.
The three pillars around which specific policy goals are developed are 1) Building Resilience to Climate Change and Disasters, 2) waste management and 3)sustainable island and ocean resources. Social and economic pillars, including sustainable transport, are also specified.
