What We Do
The Australian Committee for IUCN was founded over forty years ago to provide a focus for local Member organisations of IUCN to advance the network’s global mission and programme in Australia.
We do this by:
-
Providing a neutral forum for Australian members of IUCN to stimulate cooperative effort, raise awareness, develop national policy advice and key publications, and share knowledge and ideas.
-
Partnering with the Australian IUCN network to provide expert advisory capacity to contribute to the development and implementation of broader regional and global environmental goals, conservation frameworks, processes and policies.
-
Deliver and partner on collaborative projects and new initiatives to achieve tangible outcomes that contribute to the delivery of identified conservation priorities in Australia.
-
Helping to promote and facilitate the implementation of IUCN’s recommendations, tools and conservation frameworks in Australia.
-
Helping to meet national and global environmental communications goals by raising awareness of the benefits and importance of biodiversity and nature-based solutions for meeting societal needs.
-
Building and maintaining a strong IUCN network in Australia.
-
Providing a vital link between IUCN and its Australian members to encourage involvement and collaboration around the network’s global and regional activities, commissions and programmes.
