IUCN World Parks Congress 2014
Three priority objectives for the Congress have been identified, based on the three foundations of the current IUCN Programme.
The three priority objectives include:
- PARKS – Valuing and conserving nature
The WPC 2014 will strengthen policy and action commitments for the expansion, connectivity and better management of parks and protected areas to cover all areas important for biodiversity and ecosystem services. - PEOPLE – Effective and equitable governance of nature’s use
The WPC 2014 will foster the equitable governance of parks and protected areas to empower communities (including indigenous peoples) to become involved and to benefit. - PLANET – Deploying nature-based solutions to global challenges
The WPC 2014 will explore and promote parks and protected areas as natural solutions to global challenges such as climate change, food and water security, health and a green economy.
