Story
15 May, 2024
New Global Roadmap on Advancing Rights and Equity in Conservation launched
A new global road map sets out 11 priority areas with 32 action items, those considered to be those most critical to advance human rights, the rights of Indigenous peoples and local communities and "equitable governance" in area based conservation. Read on to learn about the diverse group of actors behind the Roadmap and how the IUCN Protected and Conserved Areas Team plans to advance the Roadmap as part of our priority areas of action.
In early February 2024, a group of diverse knowledge holders gathered for an international workshop in Nanyuki, Kenya. The aim was to provide space for inclusive discussion and to establish a roadmap to provide support for the delivery of more equitable governance and respect for rights in area-based conservation. The result was the publishing of a brand new global Roadmap for Advancing Rights and Equity detailing 11 priority areas with 32 action items. These areas, the participants agreed, are considered to be those most critical in advancing these topics towards 2030.
