The Theme for Governance, Equity and Rights (TGER) engages its diverse membership to learn from and share field-based experience and knowledge, enhance capacity recognition and capacity building, convene and support networks, and distill best practices and tools. A core function of TGER is to integrate governance principles with equity and rights-based into the policies and programs of IUCN and other organizations. TGER is fully committed to and supports IUCN’s ongoing work and increasing mandate to enhance youth participation and intergenerational action and equity in conservation and environmental governance, more broadly. TGER has been a core theme of CEESP since 2004 and has played a key role in building recognition of Indigenous and community conserved areas and diverse protected area governance types. TGER was also the original host for the IUCN Natural Resources Governance Framework (NRGF).
