New Environment Ministry Aims for Rational Spatial Management
Polona Rifelj, candidate for Minister of the Environment and Spatial Planning, outlined the ministry’s planned approach to key areas during a committee briefing. The ministry will now assume responsibility for environmental protection, spatial planning, nature conservation, water management, and mineral resource management. Rifelj emphasized the intention to pursue a more considered and rational management strategy across these interconnected sectors.
Speaking to committee members, Rifelj highlighted the need for a holistic approach, recognizing the complex relationships between these areas. She believes this shift will facilitate more effective management. In collaboration with the Ministry of Public Administration, the new ministry intends to implement responsible and target-oriented management practices.
A core element of this strategy will be the establishment of a system for regular reporting, ensuring transparency and accountability within the ministry. Rifelj’s focus is on creating a robust framework for sustainable resource utilization and responsible spatial management. The initiative reflects a commitment to data-driven decision-making and a proactive approach to environmental challenges.
The emphasis on coordinated management, spearheaded by Rifelj, is expected to significantly shape the ministry’s operations.
