The Asia IUCN Green List Experience
The project will create the conditions for more effective protected area sites and systems in at least 5 member countries, selected through the Asia Protected Areas Partnership;
The project will promote a new standard for success in area-based conservation in the region, through the Asia Protected Areas Partnership and global and Korean expertise, and enhance the capacity of networks of protected area practitioners and experts to support better performance;
Project partner’ governments will be better able to report their countries’ contributions to global targets, such as the quality elements of Aichi target 11 and the Sustainable Development Goals 14 and 15;
A specific global ‘protected planet report’ publication, supported by Korea, on how to achieve quality in protected area sites and systems will be promoted ahead of the CBD COP 15, to be held in late 2020, in Asia;
Through regional and global advocacy, events and such publications, the project will have a multiplier impact on global policy and local and regional practice.
To achieve these results, this project will mobilize local to national expert protected and conserved areas (hereafter ‘PA’) management and governance practitioners, relevant regional peer networks, technical assistance organizations, and local to national governments to recognise and build capacity for equitably governed and successfully managed PAs in the Asia region. Their engagement and technical training will be achieved through active participation in a new voluntary sustainability standard programme – the IUCN Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas.
