The Natural Resources Framework is a new approach to policy advice developed by the multi-agency natural resource sector in New Zealand. This framework has been implemented with some success, but also some teething problems. The framework is a ‘systems’ approach to understanding the interaction between the many actors in the natural resource management system, and as such could benefit from insights and lessons from the systems sciences. This article is a rejoinder to Hearnshaw et al. (2014), and presents three suggestions for how the framework could be improved based on literature from the fields of system dynamics and systems thinking.
