IUCN has a key role to play in linking conservation, livelihoods and human well-being. IUCN promotes the participation of multiple stakeholders, including marginalized groups of civil society, in decision making which affects their natural resources and livelihoods. Finding solutions requires integrated and innovative thinking, and dialogue between multiple interest groups.

Application of IUCN’s knowledge to sustainable development, empowerment and poverty reduction

IUCN’s starting point for nature-based solutions is its knowledge, capacity and experience of managing ecosystems. IUCN has established competency in the functioning and biophysical limits of natural systems; how these functions can be valued; how to facilitate equitable agreements among stakeholder groups on the optimal mix of ecosystem services; how the benefits should be shared; how to identify durable institutional arrangements to manage the resources; and how to adapt and improve resilience.

In the Cahoacan basin, Mexico, IUCN and its members are promoting efforts for the recuperation of the natural canals of mangroves affected by several threats such as sediments. Through the recuperation of the mangrove, local people can have access to sustainable harvest of mollusks, promoting also sustainable agriculture and improving their livelihoods.

The recuperation of this ecosystem at the other hand reduces vulnerability in the community affected by climate disturbances.
