Description
CEESP, the IUCN Commission on Environmental, Economic and Social Policy, is an inter-disciplinary network of professionals whose mission is to act as a source of advice on the environmental, economic, social and cultural factors that affect natural resources and biological diversity and to provide guidance and support towards effective policies and practices.
Projects
IUCN CEESP/WCPA Theme on Indigenous and Local Communities, Equity, and Protected Areas: TILCEPA seeks the full and effective recognition of the rights and responsibilities of local communities in the development and implementation of conservation policies and strategies that affect the lands, waters and other natural and cultural resources that they relate to. TILCEPA advocates, in all countries, the recognition of community conserved and managed areas that are significant from a biodiversity point of view, and the development of management partnerships with the communities resident in or surrounding official protected areas (www.tilcepa.org).
