IUCN Intergenerational Partnership for Sustainability Task Force

Inspired by IUCN Resolution 4.098 on Intergenerational Partnership, members of young professionals groups across Commissions, joined together with several senior colleagues to form the Task Force in September 2011 to promote youth engagement and intergenerational partnership in service of the IUCN’s vision of a just world that values and conserves biodiversity.

The Task Force's first project was to collect input on the draft IUCN Program for 2013-2016 from across Commissions and synthesize it into a report. The Task Force also:

-submitted a successful workshop proposal on drafting an IUCN-wide action plan for youth engagement and intergenerational partnership for 2013-2016 at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Jeju, South Korea in September 2012;

-submitted three youth-related Motions to Congress,

-is supporting young Council candidate, Caroline Seagle, and

-is coordinating a competition for designing an IUCN Intergenerational Logo.
