Reaching consensus on the role and impact of IUCN in the coming years as we prepare for the 2025 World Conservation Congress. #conservation #thevoiceofnature #WCC2025.
🌍 "Seeking inputs from the delegates is central to reaching consensus on the role and impact of IUCN in the coming years, while strengthening IUCN's position as a leading environmental organisation." – Maher Mahjoub, IUCN-Med Regional Director 🌍 At the recently concluded #RCF24ENCA, this message from our Regional Director resonated strongly with the aim of the forum. Over three days of insightful discussions, more than 440 participants engaged in over 58 thematic sessions, contributing their expertise to shape IUCN’s vision for the next 20 years. This forum emphasized the importance of collaborative dialogue, evidence-based conservation strategies, and the inclusion of diverse voices—youth, Indigenous peoples, local communities, and the private sector. These discussions will play a critical role in defining IUCN’s mission moving forward as we prepare for the 2025 World Conservation Congress. #Conservation #Sustainability #Collaboration #WCC2025

🌊 Advancing Global Ocean Governance 🌊 BCSDA has submitted recommendations to the Australian Parliament regarding the Agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ), focusing on the sustainable use of marine biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction. The submission emphasises the Agreement's alignment with key Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG 14 (Life Below Water), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). It highlights the importance of equitable access and sustainable management of marine genetic resources, ensuring that benefits are shared fairly. BCSDA also calls for robust area-based management tools, such as marine protected areas, to effectively conserve marine ecosystems. The submission stresses the need for transparent and climate-integrated environmental impact assessments to safeguard marine biodiversity. Additionally, BCSDA underscores the importance of capacity building and enhancing marine technology and research capabilities to support sustainable ocean governance.

In December 2022, UN Biodiversity Parties recognised human rights as fundamental to realizing the new Global Biodiversity Framework. As governments gather again in Nairobi this week to review progress in implementation, the ICCA Consortium's policy and advocacy team are asking the necessary hard questions about why human rights continue to be violated in the name of conservation, climate action and so-called development. In this new article, Aquilas Koko Ngomo and Milka Chepkorir highlight specific situations in Tanzania, Kenya, DRC and Cameroon, and call on African leaders and conservation organizations to "fulfill their responsibility to take a stand and prioritize the protection of environmental human rights defenders, including those from Indigenous Peoples and local communities". See the link below for the article: "Respect and protect the environmental human rights defenders in Africa" ------- Image based on a screengrab from the documentary “Restoring Ogiek Land Rights: A Story of Unity and Resilience” by Ogiek Peoples' Development Program (OPDP) (ICCA Consortium Member) and International Land Coalition. #humanrights #biodiversity #indigenouspeoples #environmentaldefenders #biodiversityday #SBI4

💡 From March 2023 through March 2024, URG conducted an analysis to assess and understand the extent to which the United Nations #HumanRights system focuses on the #TriplePlanetaryCrisis of #ClimateChange, biodiversity loss, and pollution, as well as the level of implementation and impact of environment-related recommendations extended to States by the three main human rights mechanisms: the #UPR, the #TreatyBodies, and the #SpecialProcedures ➡ This analysis is part of a growing movement at the UN to bridge the international and national levels, specifically to measure and understand the degree to which States’ international human rights obligations and commitments are being translated into improved laws, policies, and practices at the national level, leading to tangible improvements in the enjoyment of human rights and, in the case of this report, the protection of the natural environment. 🔍 Through five case studies – Peru, Mongolia, Madagascar, UK, and Fiji – the report offers a ground-breaking assessment of the degree to which the UN human rights mechanisms are moblised to find effective and durable solutions to the triple planetary crisis, and other pressing global environmental challenges. The country examples presented in this report demonstrate that the UN human rights mechanisms, complemented by the wider UN system including UNEP, have a measurable impact on the domestic enjoyment of human rights: ✅ The full involvement and engagement of States with the UN human rights system and close cooperation with UN Country Teams is critically important ✅ UN human rights recommendations shall be integrated into country programming ✅ Implementation should be a democratic, not bureaucratic process, involving #NHRIs, Parliamentarian, #CSOs, judges, and environmental defenders ✅ Human rights change doesn't happen overnight; it's an incremental process in which attention must be drawn to the human rights implications of environmental harm ✅ States must engage with *all* human rights mechanisms, as these have different strengths and weaknesses, and considering that the review-implementation-reporting cycle is ongoing and permanent 📖 Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/dkcxkCx5
