Commitment 1.3.1 – Using the Land Use and Sustainability Framework to be clear and transparent, we will:
Develop an approach to monitor and evaluate the degree to which GNWT decisions are contributing to our collective objectives.

Land Use and Sustainability Framework evaluation

The Land Use and Sustainability Framework (LUSF) is the Government of the Northwest Territories’ (GNWT) high level aspirational document that sets out a vision, guiding principles, and land interests for how the GNWT will manage land. The LUSF seeks to balance economic, environmental, and cultural interests in land management decisions.

In support of the vision set out in the LUSF, the Department of Lands is leading the development of a suite of government-wide land use and sustainability objectives to be incorporated into government decision-making processes. The Department is also evaluating options for monitoring and evaluation of the degree to which GNWT decisions are contributing to the objectives. This is being conducted collaboratively with other departments to ensure a consistent GNWT-wide approach to implementing the LUSF (milestone 1).
