Intergenerational Partnership for Sustainability
Intergenerational Partnership for Sustainability
CEC initiates efforts to engage in collaboration that encourages the exchange of ideas and experiences, mutual learning, and meaningful action across generations, geographies and genders in support of IUCN's mission of biodiversity conservation.
We aim to increase the number and engagement of young people all IUCN Commissions, across the Union, and beyond. CEC has:
- Launched young professional networks across Commissions;
- Catalyzed efforts to have the first-ever young person appointed to the 2009-2012 Council, Grace Mwaura, a young woman from Kenya, now on the IUCN CEC Steering Committee;
- Founded the Task Force on Intergenerational Partnership for Sustainability, an IUCN-wide group that took the lead in organizing the Youth and Intergenerational Journey at Congress.
