Priorities emerging from the IUCN World Parks Congress 2014 Central and Eastern Europe

CBD Decision XI/24 Protected Areas Parties welcome the IUCN World Parks Congress 2014, invite IUCN to coordinate activities and for capacity building and implementation to achieve the full scope of Aichi Biodiversity Target 11, and to report progress in the Protected Planet Report

The Promise of Sydney • Find better and fairer ways to conserve natural and cultural diversity, involving governments, businesses and citizens in establishing and managing parks ; • Inspire people around the world and across generations to reconnect with nature; • Demonstrate nature’s solutions to our planet’s challenges such as climate change, health, food and water security.
VISION Promise to INVIGORATE … our efforts to ensure that protected areas do not regress but rather progress. We will scale up protection in landscapes, wetlands and seascapes to represent all sites essential for the conservation of nature, especially in the oceans, and involve all of those who conserve. Promise to INSPIRE ... all people, across generations, geography and cultures, and especially the world’s expanding cities, to experience the wonder of nature through protected areas, to engage their hearts and minds and engender a life-long association for physical, psychological, ecological, and spiritual well-being. Promise to INVEST … in nature’s solutions, supported by public policy, incentives, tools and safeguards that help to halt biodiversity loss, mitigate and respond to climate change, reduce the risk and impact of disasters, improve food and water security, and promote human health and dignity.
