The Global Partnership on Nutrient Management (GPNM) responds to this ‘nutrient challenge’ by identifying ways to reduce the amount of excess nutrients in the environment without hindering global development. It reflects a need for strategic, global advocacy to trigger governments and stakeholders to move towards more efficient use of nitrogen and phosphorous. It provides a platform for governments, UN agencies, scientists and the private sector to forge a common agenda, mainstreaming best practices and integrated assessments, so as to effectively ‘nutrient proof’ policy making and investments. And it provides a space where countries and other stakeholders can forge more co-operative work across various international and regional fora and agencies addressing nutrients.
