The Union continued to shape global policy along so many essential dimensions – illustrating the centrality of IUCN’s work to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Much needed attention was, for instance, given to the plight of our oceans and IUCN was very active in the Ocean Conference for implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 14 (June) as well as the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (July) which focused, in particular, on SDG 14. Not to mention negotiations on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction which made significant and welcome progress this year. Drawing on IUCN’s unique Commission structure, the Union is able to bring excellence, relevance and science to international fora for enhanced sustainability outcomes.
