Reducing Climate Overshoot Risks Scaling Up Resilient Conservation Action

Why attend

Learn about the importance of ecological integrity for biodiversity, climate and health goals, for Commissions and their members. Help contribute to IUCN guidance on the use of ecological integrity in planning for global conservation action, and the IUCN Programme and work of IUCN Commissions.

Session Description

Governments, conservation organizations, and the private sector are increasingly recognizing the importance of protecting or enhancing ecological integrity for achieving climate and sustainability goals. However, there is a lack of clear definitions and guidance for IUCN Members, and members of IUCN Commissions on incorporating ecological integrity into planning and action. This session will fill this gap by bringing together a diverse group of experts from the IUCN-established Task Force on Ecological Integrity, as well as IUCN commission members, to lead a discussion on how ecological integrity can be defined, measured and used in the work of the IUCN commissions.
