IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature

The IUCN Programme provides the framework for planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating the conservation work undertaken by the Commissions and the Secretariat with and on behalf of IUCN Members. It is discussed and approved by Member organizations every four years at IUCN’s World Conservation Congress.
  
IUCN draft Programme 2013-2016
IUCN submits for consultation the draft IUCN Programme for 2013-2016. This document marks the start of a five-month consultation process where we look for feedback from our Members and Commissions to help shape this new Programme. The final draft will be submitted to IUCN Members for adoption at the World Conservation Congress in September 2012.

IUCN Members and Commissions Members are encouraged to actively participate in these consultations by attending the Regional Conservation Forums and/or by sending their comments in writing to programme@iucn.org by 10 October 2011 at the latest.
 

Our Programme is a result-based, demand-driven plan of action that addresses global issues and incorporates national level priorities. In view of the ever-growing threat to environmental health and the lack of progress towards sustainability, the IUCN Programme recognizes the continuing need to support biodiversity conservation at all levels, with governments, civil society and the private sector. It strengthens the Union’s heartland work on conserving biodiversity as the basis for developing more effective and strategic interventions linked to the global sustainability agenda in the areas of climate change, energy, poverty and security, and economy and markets.
