IUCN is pleased to inform you that the online registration system which will also allow you to book your preferred accommodation and excursion trips for the IUCN World Conservation Congress is now open. The Congress is the world?s largest and most important conservation event. Held every four years, the Congress aims to improve how we manage our natural environment for human, social and economic development. The next Congress will take place from 5 to 14 October, 2008, in the Centre de Convencions Internacional de Barcelona (CCIB) at Barcelona, Spain. More than 8,000 leaders from government, the public sector, non-governmental organizations, business, UN agencies and social organizations will discuss, debate and decide solutions for the world?s most pressing environment and development issues in the following three streams: * A new climate for change * Healthy environments - healthy people * Safeguarding the diversity of life. The Congress starts with the four-day Forum run by IUCN members, Commissions and partners discussing cutting edge ideas, thinking and practice. The Forum leads into the four-day IUCN Members? Assembly, a unique global environmental parliament of governments and NGOs. Be a part of it and register now! Get involved! Top ?

Our aim is to minimize and compensate the direct and indirect impacts relating to all aspects of the congress and leave a positive legacy. We endeavour to minimize the consumption of natural resources and the production of waste related to all phases in the lead up to, during and after the Congress. This means we will not give out delegate bags and gifts and minimize the amount of publications we bring onsite. We invite all partners and visitors to help us minimize the footprint of the Congress by: * Choosing the least polluting means of travel to Barcelona (train, boat or bus if traveling within Spain or Western Europe); * Using public transport for commuting between the Congress venue and hotels/accommodation; * Helping us to reduce the amount of paper used by accepting to receive all Congress related information electronically when registering; * Hand out information on how to find your key publications and brochures electronically instead of bringing hard copies to the Congress (there will be no space for storage and display at the Congress Center); and * Offsetting greenhouse gas emissions resulting from travel to/from Barcelona and participation in the Congress by contributing to the voluntary carbon offset scheme through the Congress registration process. More information on Congress greening is available under http://cms.iucn.org/news_events/events/congress/about/green/index.cfm Hosts Top ? The Ministry for Environment of the Spanish government, the Department of Environment and Housing of the Catalonian Government, the City Council of Barcelona and the Provincial Government of Barcelona are kindly hosting the IUCN World Conservation Congress in 2008.

These publications have been posted in the Gender and Environment Website. Hope you find thenm useful. Best Regards, Paula Z??iga D?az Content Manager _____ IUCN, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (2008). Factsheet Mainstreaming Gender in ABS Governance. San Jos?, Costa Rica The third objective of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) seeks ?the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources, including by appropriate access to genetic resources and by appropriate transfer of relevant technologies, taking into account all rights over those resources and to technologies?. The achievement of this goal depends on the mainstreaming of gender considerations in ABS and TK governance. http://www.generoyambiente.org/admin/admin_biblioteca/documentos/FS%20UICN%2 0ABS%20(Baja%20Resolucion).pdf IUCN, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (2008). Factsheet Linking Gender and Biodiversity. San Jos?, Costa Rica Women have a unique relationship with biodiversity and across the globe, women predominate as wild plant gatherers, home gardeners, plant domesticators, herbalists and seed custodians. There are many examples that document that women and men have different uses, knowledge, and practices concerning biodiversity. These differing relationships with biodiversity result in gender-differentiated impacts when the abundance and composition of the biodiversity changes. These alterations might limit women?s access to, and control over, natural resources (i.e. land, water, cattle and trees) and reduce their possibilities to provide their families with a proper lifestyle. http://www.generoyambiente.org/admin/admin_biblioteca/documentos/FS%20UICN%2 0Biodiversity%20(Baja%20Resolucion).pdf IUCN, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (2008). Factsheet Gender and Biosafety. San Jos?, Costa Rica It is important that the Cartagena Protocol of the Convention on Biological Diversity recognizes that the impact of introducing GMOs could be gender-differentiated because men and women have different knowledges, needs and vulnerabilities. Women worldwide, and specially women from indigenous groups and local communities, need to have access to information, skills, equipment, regulatory frameworks, and procedures. This will allow them to understand the issues, make informed decisions, manage, or avoid any potential risks associated to GMOs, have the capacity to implement the Protocol, and have an arena where their needs and concerns are heard and valued. http://www.generoyambiente.org/admin/admin_biblioteca/documentos/FS%20UICN%2 0Biosafety%20(Baja%20Resolucion).pdf Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity and IUCN, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (2008). Factsheet Gender and Access and Benefit Sharing of Genetic Resources (ABS). San Jos?, Costa Rica The use and development of genetic resources, if carried out without taking into consideration the needs and practices of communities, could endanger their livelihoods. http://www.generoyambiente.org/admin/admin_biblioteca/documentos/FS%20UICN-C BD%20ABS%20(baja%20resolucion).pdf Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity and IUCN, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (2008). Factsheet Gender and Agricultural Biodiversity. San Jos?, Costa Rica Underpinning the Convention on Biological Diversity is recognition that humans, themselves a diversity of cultures and knowledge, are an integral component of ecosystems as both users and managers of resources. Because it is human management of agricultural landscapes that shapes agricultural biodiversity, gender-based differences in knowledge and responsibilities greatly impact management activities. http://www.generoyambiente.org/admin/admin_biblioteca/documentos/FS%20UICN%2 0Biosafety%20(Baja%20Resolucion).pdf Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity and IUCN, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (2008). Factsheet Gender and National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs). San Jos?, Costa Rica. A fundamental characteristic of the NBSAPs should be the active involvement of all social groups in their elaboration. However, in order to ensure genuine representation, it is necessary to recognize that there is diversity within social groups due to their sex, age, ethnic group, income, occupations and civil status, among others. http://www.generoyambiente.org/admin/admin_biblioteca/documentos/FS%20UICN-C BD%20NBSAPs%20(baja%20resolucion).pdf -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
