Publishing Guidelines
Reminder

• All IUCN and IUCN co-branded publications, unless they are an official policy document (in which case it will require the approval of the Director General and Council), must carry a disclaimer covering opinions, geographical limitations, or translation, if appropriate.
  
• All processes and materials used for the production of IUCN publications must be as environmentally friendly as possible.
  
• The blue colour used for the IUCN logo, (“IUCN” blue) is a Pantone 287C. The letter C refers to coated paper; if uncoated paper is used, the reference would be Pantone 287U. If a printer does not used Pantone inks, the 4-colour separation is Cyan = 100, Magenta = 69, Yellow = 0, Black = 11.
  
• IUCN Publications Services, Headquarters must be informed of all publishing projects for review by the Publications Advisory Committee.
  
• A bookmarked PDF of every publication (print/electronic) must be given to the IUCN Headquarters Library for cataloguing and archiving (print/electronic).
