IUCN Commissions
Founded in 1948 as the world’s first international environmental organization, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) today represents the largest global conservation network with more than 1,200 State and NGO Member organizations and 11,000 expert volunteers.
Biodiversity conservation is at the core of IUCN’s efforts to promote the importance of nature and the solutions it offers to some of the world’s greatest challenges such as climate change, food security, and social and economic development.
UCN’s six expert Commissions are a great asset to the organization and provide a global pool of science, research and action. These vital Commissions—supported by a broad and active volunteer network—help assess the state of the world’s natural resources and contribute top scientific, legal and policy advice used to drive conservation and sustainable development.
The six IUCN Commissions focus on developing sound environmental laws and policies, linking conservation to social and economic decision making, evaluating the status of species and ecosystems, promoting expanded and improved management of protected areas and natural resources, and strengthening conservation through education, training and strategic communication.
The work of the Commissions underpins IUCN’s work programme and its focus areas which are:
‚ Valuing and conserving nature,
‚ Effective and equitable governance of nature’s use, and
Deploying nature-based solutions to global challenges in climate, food security and development.
