IUCN CEM Young Professionals Network

CEM YPN Activities

The CEM YPN already has a blog and a Facebook page in addition to a place within the Intergenerational partnership. All CEM YPN members are welcome to submit articles for the blog post and encouraged to not only share relevant events with the network, but furthermore to actively organise CEM relevant events (i.e. panels and symposia) as part of appropriate conferences under a CEM endorsement (prior to submission as a CEM endorsed event listings should be submitted via this link for approval by CEM network members).

In addition, we have created an online forum - 'Young Professionals Forum' on the CEM YPN website. We invite all YP to participate in the discussion.  The details on how the forum works can be seen in the page on the above link.

We use digital media to promote periodic events, in addition to regional and thematic meetings. You can connect with us on Twitter and Facebook. 

Task Force on Intergenerational Partnership

Inspired by IUCN Resolution 4.098 on Intergenerational Partnership, members of young professionals groups across Commissions joined together with several senior colleagues to form the Task Force in September 2011 to promote youth engagement and intergenerational partnership in support of the IUCN’s vision of a "just world that values and conserves biodiversity."

A year later, it had grown to over 100 diverse members from more than 40 countries around the world, representing all parts of the IUCN family and partners. Since the Congress in Jeju, South Korea, much of the Task Force's work is based on Resolution 008 on Increasing Youth Engagement and Intergenerational Partnership across and through the Union as a platform.
