As a union, IUCN seeks to influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world to conserve the integrity and diversity of nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable. IUCN builds on the strengths of its members, networks and partners to enhance their capacity and to support global alliances to safeguard natural resources at local, regional and global levels. International Institute for Sustainable Development The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), based in Winnipeg, Canada, contributes to sustainable development by advancing policy recommendations on international trade and investment, economic policy, climate change and energy, measurement and assessment, and sustainable natural resources management. Through the internet, we report on interna- tional negotiations and share knowledge gained through collaborative projects with global partners, resulting in more rigorous research, capacity building in developing countries and better dialogue between north and south. IISD’s vision is better living for all – sustainably; its mission is to champion innovation, enabling societies to live sustainably. IISD is registered as a charitable organization in Canada and has 501(c)(3) status in the US. IISD receives core operating support from the Government of Canada, provided through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the International The IUCN and the IISD ix Development Research Centre (IDRC) and Environment Canada, and from the Province of Manitoba. The Institute receives project funding from numerous governments inside and outside Canada, United Nations’ agencies, foundations and the private sector. Visit www.iisd.org for more information.
