Guidelines for conserving connectivity through ecological networks and corridors
Connectivity conservation is essential for managing healthy ecosystems, conserving biodiversity and adapting to climate change across all biomes and spatial scales. These Guidelines are based on the best available science and practice for maintaining, enhancing and restoring ecological connectivity among and between protected areas, other effective areas based conservation measures (OECMs) and other intact ecosystems.
A post 2020 target on invasive alien species (IAS)
IUCN & IUCN SSC Invasive Species Specialist Group propose a global target to address IAS, actions and indicators to assess progress. Invasive alien species (IAS) are known to be one of the major drivers of biodiversity loss, and are the primary cause of recent extinctions in most taxonomic groups, especially on islands. IAS also cause substantial negative impacts to human health, livelihoods, and economies.
World Heritage and the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework
Experts convened by IUCN have issued a statement on how World Heritage contributes to the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework. It provides key messages on the relevance of the World Heritage Convention, and how it can be harnessed to support global biodiversity targets post 2020. A set of recommendations is included to help decision-makers integrate specific wording on World Heritage into the framework. More
Contribution to the design of a long-term strategic framework for capacity building beyond 2020
IUCN conducted a survey among its Members to gather views on capacity building needs for coherent implementation of the biodiversity-related conventions (BRCs) and assess the linkages between capacity building activities leading to enhanced cooperation between these conventions. The results are presented in this paper - a contribution to the preparation of a long-term strategic framework for capacity building beyond 2020.
Towards a new post-2020 global biodiversity framework: developing IUCN's position
IUCN Members were invited to participate in an online survey to provide their views in relation to the development and structure of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. The results of the survey were considered in the elaboration of IUCN's submission to the CBD Secretariat in 2018.
