The Learning for Governance initiative - a learning network to understand and improve environmental governance

The Learning for Governance initiative is led by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Commission for Environmental, Economic and Social Policy (IUCN CEESP), under the Theme for Governance, Equity and Rights in collaboration with Melanie Zurba’s Community Engaged CoLab at Dalhousie University. The initiative seeks to build a learning network with diverse practitioners around the world who are taking action to understand and improve environmental governance.

The initiative is also developing tools to support communication and learning, highlight diverse governance stories, and promote power sharing and equity within and beyond IUCN networks. The first tool being developed through the initiative is the online Learning for Governance portal, which features a story map highlighting governance stories, approaches and frameworks from across the globe. The goal is to create inclusive and equitable collaborative learning spaces and tools to foster dialogue and inspire meaningful action. The project will engage across scales and on equal terms to learn about and form diverse approaches to governing and to understanding and improving governance.
