6 Innovative approaches for each of the eight streams

7 INNOVATIVE APPROACHES and cross cutting themes A total of 150 recommendations What will WCPA/GPAP take forward re PoS?

10 The Promise of Sydney Strengthen implementation, more and better managed Protected Areas (IUCN programme 1) Scale up & apply innovative approaches for management and governance (IUCN programme 2) New ways to interact across sectors for mutual gains and maximum impact nature based solutions (IUCN prg 3) Build on commitments and monitoring the promises (WDPA and Protected Planet platform) Learning across regions best practice guidance Assessing progress World Conservation Congress 2016

19 IUCN Programme Area 3: Deploying nature based solutions to global challenges New focus on Health & PAs IUCN WCPA Goal 3: PA systems contributing to meet the challenges of climate change, food and water security and disaster risk reduction

20 Ecosystem based approaches Protected Areas helping people to cope with Climate Change BPG Climate Change and Protected Areas (for WCC) Disaster Risk Reduction guidelines and papers (with CEM)

21 13.1 Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate related hazards and natural disasters in all countries 13.2 Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning 13.3 Improve education, awareness raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning

22 Redparques : Action on Climate Change Declaration about the role of protected areas as natural solutions to climate change, signed by 18 Latin American countries (August 2015) Study about climate change strategies: encompassing protected areas in policy instruments in the Amazon Countries National commitments to UNFCC - Colombia to add 2.5 million hectares of new terrestrial& marine PAs as part of Colombia s Intended National Contribution Creation of a regional working group on Climate Change Future Steps Support WCPA internationalizing Declaration, already initiated by an article in PARKS Establishment of a CC observatory for the Amazon Exchange of experience regarding local adaptation strategies Policy recommendations for Redparques, starting with a policy brief for Colombia, Ecuador and Peru (due June 2016) Other countries to implement the Declaration at national level

23 Conservation and Protected Areas

24 Achieve Aichi Targets Target 11 By 2020 at least 17 % of terrestrial and inland water, and 10 % of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well connected systems of protected areas, and other effective area based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscape and seascape.

25 SDG Targets Food Security and Health 2.4 By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality 3.3 By 2030, end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases and combat hepatitis, waterborne diseases and other communicable diseases

26 Parks for the Planet Explore and promote parks and protected areas as natural solutions to global challenges such as climate change, food and water security, health and the global economy Salzburg Challenge Salzburg Global Forum: Nature Health and a New Urban Generation

27 6.1 By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all 11.5 By 2030, significantly reduce the number of deaths, people affected and economic losses caused by disasters, including water related disasters, with a focus on protecting the poor and people in vulnerable situations 11.7 By 2030, provide universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible, green and public spaces, in particular for women and children, older persons and persons with disabilities
