Sustainable Visions
IUCN welcomes the report of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network. As we work together to craft universally applicable Sustainable Developments Goals, the report shows real-life examples that put the concept of sustainable development into practice. As the voice of nature on the international stage over the past 60 years, IUCN applauds the inclusion of goals that speak to the role of biodiversity and ecosystem services for sustainable development and poverty reduction. The endorsement of these goals will strengthen the international commitments already made by governments, and will put nature firmly into the broader development framework.
