Working together

Partnerships make possible the broad range and impact of IUCN’s work. Our members, as well as Chinese partner institutions, scientists and experts participate in a wide range of activities with IUCN Programmes, Commissions and fora.

Members

IUCN members are an integral part of our programs at the global, regional and national level.

IUCN provides a platform for members to voice their concerns on key conservation issues. Our projects and activities also provide opportunities to share knowledge, to develop partnerships and to expand networks.

Presently there are 19 IUCN China members. They include the Chinese government, represented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Our members are engaged in work across the spectrum of environmental protection:

Commissions

IUCN’s six Commissions unite 10,000 volunteer experts from a range of disciplines. They assess the state of the world’s natural resources and provide the Union with sound know-how and policy advice on conservation issues.

IUCN China works with the Commissions, such as the World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) and the Species Survival Commission (SSC), to link Chinese and international expertise and to share knowledge relevant to China’s conservation and development priorities.
