Summary
This policy statement aims to outline a set of fundamental tenets, which can act as an overarching Social Policy for IUCN. This document aims to develop coherent guiding principles that may be applied across the Union. It can, and should not, claim to address the many and wide-ranging site-specific issues, which inevitably reflect the complexity of social dimensions of environmental management. The document therefore approaches social aspects of conservation through a global lens rather than local specificity. It is not meant to prescribe ways to carry out practical actions. For this reason, and responding to the strong demand for practical action and guidelines to implement this policy statement formulated by regional members, an Action Plan has been developed to translate the policy statement into action. This Action Plan relies on the collaboration of members, commissions and the secretariat to develop and implement regional and national plans.
