Assessments

The passing of the IUCN Resolution 041 (Development of objective criteria for a Green List of species, ecosystems and protected areas) at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Jeju Island, South Korea in September 2012 provided an important indication of government and NGO support for the principle of the Green Status of Species. However, there was no indication of what the GSS method would look like. Since then, those details have been worked out by technical specialists.

IUCN World Heritage Outlook 3 builds on three cycles of Conservation Outlook Assessments undertaken since 2014. It presents the main results for 2020, but also some longer-term trends based on a comparison of three data sets now available.

The Protected Areas Benefits Assessment Tool+ (PA-BAT+) aims to collate and assess information about the overall benefits from conservation and protection in protected areas. It can also be used in other area-based conservation sites. This technical guidance provides a quick overview of why understanding the benefits from protected areas is important, provides a detailed guide to using the PA-BAT+ and explains how to understand and use the results.

This document provides guidance, information and evidence about how forest landscape restoration (FLR) can accelerate progress towards achieving the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, tackling the current challenges of maintaining a balance of land productivity and ecosystem integrity.

Au cours des dernières années, la biologie de synthèse est apparue comme un ensemble de techniques et de technologies permettant à l’homme de lire, interpréter, modifier, concevoir et fabriquer de l’ADN, afin d’influencer rapidement les formes et les fonctions des cellules et des organismes et, potentiellement, des espèces et des écosystèmes entiers.

This capacity needs assessment identifies opportunities for institutional capacity development to strengthen multi-sectoral planning and implementation in order to create an enabling environment for nexus perspectives in Central Asia. It should not be viewed as a static capacity building plan, but rather as a catalogue to develop appropriate activities and strategies that can be further adjusted if necessary. 

En los últimos años, la biología sintética ha surgido como un conjunto de técnicas y tecnologías que permiten a los seres humanos leer, interpretar, modificar, diseñar y producir ADN para influir rápidamente en las formas y funciones de las células y los organismos, con el potencial de llegar a especies y ecosistemas enteros. A medida que la biología sintética sigue evolucionando, surgen nuevas herramientas, se proponen nuevas aplicaciones y se aplica l

This study is aimed at the assessment of current policies as well as regulatory and legal frameworks on renewable energy and energy efficiency, water management, the food security nexus and sustainable development in the countries of Jordan, Lebanon and Tunisia. It also closely considers climate change and the issue of gender. 

The European Red List is a review of the status of European species according to IUCN regional Red Listing guidelines. It identifies those species that are threatened with extinction at the regional level – in order that appropriate conservation action can be taken to improve their status. This publication is a summary of the conservation status of the European species of mosses, liverworts and hornworts, collectively known as bryophytes.
