Our Priorities

All of nature for all of Scotland

Our five strategic priorities are:

• Caring for nature
  Enhancing Scotland's biodiversity and re-kindling the relationship between people and the natural world
• Responding to climate change
  Understanding the effects of climate change and helping to deliver the contribution that the natural heritage can make in limiting it and adapting to it
• Delivering health and well-being
  Creating places where people want to live or visit, enhancing landscapes, providing opportunities for healthier and greener lifestyles and enabling people to enjoy the natural heritage
• Supporting the Scottish economy
  Identifying and helping to deliver the contribution that the natural heritage can make to sustainable economic growth
• Delivering a high quality public service
  Maintaining an efficient, responsive and environmentally responsible organisation which provides effective guidance on the natural heritage and value and satisfaction for customers, and working jointly with other agencies to ensure an integrated and streamlined approach

Our Corporate Strategy 2008-2013 describes each of these priorities in turn. It sets out the outcomes we seek and the national outcomes to which they will contribute, and the actions we will take over the period to achieve them.
