Are you interested to join the Young
Professionals Leadership Team within the the International Union for the Conservation of the Nature (IUCN)'s Commission for Education and Communication (CEC) ? Then you are reading the right email. If you consider yourself as a climate, environmental or conservation young professional - being you students, practitioners, professionals, and indigenous persons, etc aged 35 and younger and
based from anywhere across the globe - then you are eligible to join
the CEC YPLT and contribute to our vision, mission and work.
The CEC's Young Professionals network make
up a
significant portion of the IUCN Commission on Education and
Communication (CEC) membership (nearly 30% in
September 2012) and is contributing in meaningful ways to the
implementation of the Commission mandate and IUCN mission. The CEC YP
brings a range of relevant expertise, knowledge, skills, and networks to
the Commission. In addition to our areas of specialty we seek to
increase meaningful youth engagement in and through the Commission and
espouse an intergenerational approach to activities that promotes
communication, learning, and collaboration across generations. The
broader purpose of the CEC YP Network is based in youth engagement and
intergenerational partnership. While we make a special effort to engage
young people on the CEC (aged 18-35), we do not want this to separate
them from the rest of the IUCN Commission on Education and Communication
(CEC)
and its activities. In fact, a key purpose is to integrate young people
in meaningful ways into the work of the Commission.
The CEC YP’s vision is
a community of sustainability leaders of different generations,
geographies, and genders learning and working together within and
through IUCN for a just, sustainable, and a peaceful world. Our mission
is to foster intergenerational partnership between established and
emerging leaders to contribute in meaningful ways to the work of the CEC
and the Union. Our goal for 2013 - 2016 is to increase proactive and
meaningful participation of emerging conservation and sustainability
leaders in the work of the CEC and other Commissions.
