Natural Resources and Environmental Protection
Governing natural resources transparently while restoring forests, watersheds, and ecological resilience.
Key Challenges
Less than 2% of original forest cover remaining
Significant mineral deposits (gold, copper) with no governance framework
Severe watershed degradation increasing flood risk
Charcoal production driving continued deforestation
Key Questions for This Pillar
Should Haiti develop its mining sector, and under what conditions?
How can reforestation be incentivized at scale?
What alternative energy sources can replace charcoal?
Comparative Example
Costa Rica
Costa Rica reversed deforestation from 21% forest cover in 1987 to over 52% today through payments for ecosystem services, eco-tourism development, and a constitutional commitment to environmental protection.
Haiti 2077 invites citizens, professionals, diaspora members, and organizations to contribute structured proposals addressing the challenges and opportunities within this pillar.
