IUCN programme 2021-2024 in numbers
This report is an account of the activities conducted and results achieved by IUCN over the past years.
These activities delivered through the portfolio are part of IUCN’s mandate to influence, encourage and assist societies to conserve the integrity and diversity of nature and ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable.
This report demonstrates the multifaceted nature of projects and how they deliver against the 2021-2024 IUCN Programme Impact Targets. In reading this document, it is important to keep in mind that a single project can deliver on more than one Impact Target.
