Policy influencing/advocacyThe IUCN Biodiversity & Family Planning Task Force has researched and published its guidance, “Reproductive choice in national biodiversity policy: Guidance on how to ensure PHE and removing barriers to rights-based and voluntary family planning are included in NBSAPs”. This guidance was written as an easy-to-follow guide on the background to the Convention on Biological Diversity; NBSAPs; the GBF targets; how to engage in national processes updating NBSAPs and the arguments which can be used, when engaging in that process, to gain references to family planning and/or PHE in them.
