Why attend

The IUCN Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas is the global standard for equitable and effective area-based conservation. The Standard has recently been revised after global consultation. Hear about the proposed changes to Green List 2.0 and provide your feedback on the changes? What have we missed?

Session Description

The IUCN Green List Standard for Protected and Conserved Areas is being revised to ensure it continues to reflect and support effective, equitable management. Since its launch in 2016, more than 100 sites worldwide have achieved Green List status. Guided by feedback from site managers, conservation practitioners, and equity experts, the Green List Standard Committee has developed a new draft now open for consultation, inviting diverse perspectives to help refine and strengthen the Standard for global use. This will be an highly interactive group session facilitated by members of the IUCN Green List Standard Committee working in small groups in English, French and Spanish. we will start with a presentation of the changes to to the standard and then break out to hear individual feedback.
