Premios de la UICN - IUCN Portals

IntroductionThis document presents the results of implementation of the IUCN Programme 2009–12. Thedocument is intended to serve multiple purposes, including reporting to IUCN’s framework donors,preparation of the Annual Report 2012 and the Director General’s report to the World ConservationCongress.The report contains both quantitative indicators and case studies with quantitative and qualitativeresults. The choice of quantitative indicators reflects the availability of data within IUCN, while thechoice of case studies is intended to provide a representation of IUCN’s work over the 2009–12across each programme area.Results of the IUCN Programme 2009–12In this section, examples of IUCN’s results are presented for each programme area. In most of thecases, IUCN delivered against more than one programme area. The global results defined in theProgramme 2009–12 were, by design, very broad and intended to ensure that all components of IUCNwould be able to contribute to broad areas of work, rather than narrow targets. It was also assumedthat broader results would be more appealing to the IUCN Membership and to the volunteerCommission networks.IUCN’s Programme in 2009 to 2012 generated considerable new conservation science, based onassessments and experience from implementing projects on the ground. This knowledge was used todrive IUCN’s policy positions in several areas, resulting in a stronger Strategic Plan for Biodiversity,gender-aware approaches to environmental challenges and a pro-poor, pro-biodiversity approach tomitigating and adapting to climate change. In addition, IUCN demonstrated, time and again, the role ofnature-based solutions to the challenges of economic and social development, food security, disasterrisk reduction and climate change with numerous examples of tangible benefits delivered to the ruralpoor.Between 2008 and 2012, IUCN produced 685 publications, forming an enviable knowledge base fromwhich IUCN was able to influence policy and action. While it is impossible to list all publications, someof the highlights include:• Wildlife in a changing world: an analysis of the 2008 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species(Conserving Biodiversity);• Gender equality within the REDD and REDD-plus framework (Changing the ClimateForecast);• Greening blue energy: identifying and managing biodiversity risks and opportunities ofoffshore renewable energy (Naturally Energizing the Future);• Visualizing landscapes: understanding and negotiating conservation and development tradeoffsusing visual techniques (Managing Ecosystems for Human Wellbeing);• TEEB: the economics of ecosystems and biodiversity report for business (Greening the WorldEconomy).IUCN was also very active in publishing in peer-reviewed scientific journals, including Science. Recentexamples include The Impact of Conservation on the Status of the World’s Vertebrates by Hoffmannet al (2010), as the first-ever global measure of the impact of conservation, Global Biodiversity:Indicators of Recent Declines by Butchart, et al., and Reconsidering the Consequences of SelectiveFisheries by Garcia et al.IUCN also published on the topics of water, forest conservation, economics and marine in a range oftop journals. In relation to water, articles dealt with issues such as water governance, climate changeand multi-stakeholder dialogues. Concerning forest conservation, IUCN and partner organizationshave published on topics of Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR), forest dependency, landscape332
