OECMs engagement in the IUCN Green List (extended to 27 May 2022)

The framework partnership project supported by the Republic of Korea is an initiative for alignment between the IUCN Standard and the new IUCN OECMs methodology, to further develop an effective system of protected and conserved areas, including OECM, for the Republic of Korea, report verified ‘effectiveness’ and area contributions to the CBD, and share lessons and approaches with partner countries in Asia. One of the expected results is to develop and publish a guidance document for ‘effectiveness’ and OECMs that fully aligns the CBD Decision on OECMs, and describes the relationship to the Green List Standard and benchmarking to its components and criteria. For the realization of this mission, IUCN wishes to contract an international consultant. During the execution of the mission, the appointed consultant will work under the supervision of IUCN, which will provide expertise on all aspects related to the Green List Standard

Optimising the Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas Assessment Process (extended to 27 May 2022)

The main objective of the consultancy is to provide guidance on the Green List process from the user's perspective. The first part prioritises the site managers who engage in a selfassessment of their protected and conserved areas against the Green List Standard. The goal is to develop an accessible logical framework that guides the site managers through the process of completing the Green List indicators. In order to do this, the consultant can rely on lesson learned from Green-listed sites, but also existing key documents of the Green List, as follows: the User Manual which specifies the procedural steps of an application and the role of the main stakeholders in the programme; the Standard which describes the 17 criteria and 50 generic indicators that site managers have to fill in; the Standard guidance which gives examples and references to fill in each criterion.
