The Promise of Sydney
• Strengthen implementation, more and better managed
Protected Areas (IUCN programme 1)
• Scale up & apply innovative approaches for management
and governance (IUCN programme 2)
• New ways to interact across sectors for mutual gains and
maximum impact -nature-based solutions (IUCN prg 3)
• Build on commitments and monitoring the promises (WDPA
and Protected Planet platform)
• Learning across regions – best practice guidance
• Assessing progress – World Conservation Congress 2016

Conservation in the landscape/ seascape:
…from individual sites to systems of
protected and voluntarily conserved areas
…a variety of area-based
phenomena— formal
protected areas, but also the
Aichi target 11 “other effective
area-based conservation
measures” including voluntary
and ancillary conservation-- when
appropriately recognised,
supported and connected,
render conservation more
powerful, more equitable and
more resilient...
IUCN Programme Area 3:
Deploying nature-based solutions to
global challenges
New focus on
Health & PAs

climate change, food and
water security and disaster
risk reduction

guidelines and papers
(with CEM)
• 13.1 Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity
to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in
all countries
• 13.2 Integrate climate change measures into
national policies, strategies and planning
• 13.3 Improve education, awareness-raising and
human and institutional capacity on climate
change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction
and early warning
Redparques : Action on Climate
Change
 Declaration about the role of protected areas as natural solutions to climate change,
signed by 18 Latin American countries (August 2015)
 Study about climate change strategies: encompassing protected areas in policy
instruments in the Amazon Countries
 National commitments to UNFCC - Colombia to add 2.5 million hectares of new
terrestrial& marine PAs as part of Colombia’s Intended National Contribution
 Creation of a regional working group on Climate Change
Future Steps
 Support WCPA internationalizing Declaration, already initiated by an article in PARKS
 Establishment of a CC observatory for the Amazon
 Exchange of experience regarding local adaptation strategies
 Policy recommendations for Redparques, starting with a policy brief for Colombia,
Ecuador and Peru (due June 2016)
 Other countries to implement the Declaration at national level
Conservation and Protected Areas
Achieve Aichi Targets - Target 11
By 2020 at least
17 % of terrestrial and inland water, and
10 % of coastal and marine areas,
especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity
and ecosystem services, are conserved
through effectively and equitably managed,
ecologically representative and well-connected systems
of protected areas, and
other effective area-based conservation measures,
and integrated into the wider landscape and seascape.
SDG Targets Food Security and Health
• 2.4 By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and
implement resilient agricultural practices that increase
productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems,
that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change,
extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and
that progressively improve land and soil quality
• 3.3 By 2030, end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria
and neglected tropical diseases and combat hepatitis, waterborne diseases and other communicable diseases
Parks for the Planet
Explore and promote parks
and protected areas as
natural solutions to global
challenges such as climate
change, food and water
security, health and the
global economy
Salzburg Challenge
• Salzburg Global
Forum: Nature
Health and a New
Urban Generation
6.1 By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and
affordable drinking water for all
11.5 By 2030, significantly reduce the number of deaths, people
affected and economic losses caused by disasters, including
water-related disasters, with a focus on protecting the poor
and people in vulnerable situations
11.7 By 2030, provide universal access to safe, inclusive and
accessible, green and public spaces, in particular for women
and children, older persons and persons with disabilities

PAs and Sustainable Development
• PROTECT: More, better managed protected areas:
marine; wetlands, areas high C & BD &ES; lowland rain
forest (KBAs, GL)
• CONNECT Protected areas in landscapes/seascapes
• RESTORE - degraded habitats within & around PAs,
manage invasive species, improve management.
• INCORPORATE PAs as Natural Solutions in
CC/Adaptation/Disaster Risk/Water Strategies &
Green Infrastructure (Mainstreaming).
• RECONNECT People and Nature (#NatureforAll)
