IUCN members adopted some 183 Resolutions and Recommendations at the Members Business Assembly of the 5th World Conservation Congress. They, along with the Intersessional Programme, financial plan and Commission mandates, provide the Union with a framework to be more effective in pursuing our mission.
The Members Assembly allows Members to contribute to the governance issues of the Union. During the Assembly, Members heard Commission reports, approved IUCNs programme of work for the next four years, and voted on Resolutions and Recommendations. The Proceedings provide Members with a session-by-session account of the business activities on the agenda.
