From the IUCN World Parks Congress website:
"The IUCN World Parks Congress 2014 is a landmark global forum on protected areas. The Congress will share knowledge and innovation, setting the agenda for protected areas conservation for the decade to come. Building on the theme Parks, People, Planet: Inspiring Solutions, it will highlight successful pioneering approaches for conservation and development, helping to address the implementation gap in the sustainable development agenda.
To do this, the IUCN World Parks Congress 2014 seeks to achieve the following objectives:
Position protected areas within goals of economic and community wellbeing
Achieve understanding of their vital role in conserving biodiversity while delivering ecosystem services
Demonstrate how this can be achieved.
By achieving these objectives, the Congress will communicate the most compelling and inspiring solutions to global challenges, position protected areas in the post-2015 sustainable development agenda and reach new commitments and capacity for implementation across conservation, development and business sectors."
