Partner case study – IUCN
Policy informing towards a Sustainable Agriculture
Call to Action Commitment 6 – Informing the development of more coherent agri-food policies at local, national, regional and global level and continue to build public and private partnerships for greater impact.
Established in 1948, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is an international organisation working in the field of nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. IUCN is instrumental in aligning conservation and sustainability efforts towards coherent agri-food policies. The organisation’s efforts are ingrained not just in commitments, but as a core function of its mission to influence, encourage, and assist societies in conserving the integrity and diversity of nature.
Through dialogue brokering and knowledge management and production, IUCN fosters discussions that prioritise long-term ecological health alongside agricultural productivity and food security. Dialogues are vital in shaping a more inclusive approach to policymaking, where biodiversity and ecosystem services are integral to agricultural strategies. Additionally, IUCN has developed two upcoming reports focused on relevant issues such as nature-based solutions and sustainable agriculture, as well as on metrics for assessing biodiversity in agricultural environments.
As we approach the 2024 European Parliament elections and Commission transition, IUCN will continue to champion policies that align with sustainable and conservation principles, furthering the objectives of CTA6.
