About IUCN
 
 
 
 

The work of The World Conservation Union – IUCN is made possible through the generosity, trust and confidence of a growing number of partners: governments, bilateral development assistance agencies, multilateral and intergovernmental institutions, international conventions and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), foundations, corporations and individuals. We are most grateful for all the contributions to support the Union’s work.

Framework Agreements

IUCN would like to acknowledge the continued support received from its framework partners: Canada (CIDA), Denmark (Danida), France (Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development), Mava Foundation, the Netherlands (DGIS), Norway (Norad), Spain (AECID), Sweden (Sida) and Switzerland (SDC).

Framework partners provide core funding to support the implementation of the IUCN Programme for the period 2005–2008. Funding provided by framework partners is vital to support the implementation of the Union's portfolio on species conservation, protected areas, forest conservation and other areas. This type of support also fosters the development of new programmes such as climate change, poverty, green markets and energy, to enable IUCN to more efficiently and effectively address the threats to sustainability.
