Repairing domestic climate displacement

Following several years of preparatory work across the globe, legal scholars, judges, UN officials and climate change experts from 11 countries came together to finalise a new normative framework aiming to strengthen the right of climate-displaced persons, households and communities. This resulted in the approval of the Peninsula Principles on Climate Displacement within States in August 2013.

Emprendiendo en la conservación

Basándose en ejemplos de los sectores de tecnología y de empresas emergentes (startups), la UICN desarrolló la idea de una incubadora para identificar y alimentar las ideas de los administradores de áreas protegidas y de otros agentes que carecen de conocimientos, recursos o contactos profesionales para hacerlas realidad: la Incubadora para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (INC, por sus siglas en inglés).

Mesurer l’efficacité du droit de l’environnement à travers des indicateurs juridiques et des analyses de qualité

Les efforts visant à évaluer l’efficacité du droit de l’environnement au moyen d’indicateurs juridiques sont indispensables à un moment où le droit de l’environnement, sa mise en oeuvre et son application efficaces sont essentiels à la transformation mondiale vers une société durable. Le droit de l’environnement nécessite des outils qui permettent aux gouvernements et à la société en général de mesurer avec précision et d’informer sur la mesure dans laquelle le droit est correctement et efficacement appliqué.

Measuring the effectiveness of environmental law through legal indicators and quality analyses

Efforts to assess the effectiveness of environmental law through legal indicators are indispensable at a time when environmental law and its effective implementation and enforcement are crucial in the global  transformation towards a sustainable society. Environmental law requires tools which allow governments and society in general to accurately measure and inform about the extent to which the law is being correctly and effectively applied.

Becoming a conservation entrepreneur

Drawing on examples from the tech and startup sectors, IUCN developed the idea of an incubator to identify and nurture ideas coming from protected and conservation area managers and stakeholders who lack the knowledge, resources, or professional contacts to make them a reality: the IUCN Incubator for Nature Conservation (INC). The objective of the present document is to pull together the key lessons, examples and resources generated through the INC pilot projects to inform future conservation finance projects and help bridge the gap between conservation and investment.
