IUCN Green List
, Morning
Why attend
The IUCN Green List is a global standard for effective and equitable management of protected areas. It offers a robust framework for sites to benchmark their performance against globally recognized criteria. How can we use this standard and certification system to most effectively promote quality in area-based conservation?
Session Description
This event will explore the question of how we should frame ambition for the IUCN Green List. As a Standard it can be used by anyone involved in area-based conservation. As a cetification scheme, it provides a voluntary and innovative mechanism to benchmark performance against the Standard in an independently verified way. The stated objective of the IUCN Green List programme is to increase and recognise the number of effective and equitable protected and conserved areas globally. How can we best make the Green List the "rising tide that lifts all boats" to achieve transformative change in the QUALITY of global protected and conserved areas? We will explore this question through short presentations and active engagement with the audience.Organized by
