  • FP207: Recharge Pakistan: Building Pakistan‚'s resilience to climate change through Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) and Green Infrastructure for integrated flood risk management

  • This guide was developed for program managers and donors who seek to understand and assess the strength of internal control functions in government agencies responsible for enforcing laws against illegal wildlife trade (IWT). It provides detailed steps and guidance based on experience implementing assessments of internal controls, but a scan of the guide may also be helpful for conservation practitioners who want to understand more about how internal controls systems should work to reduce risks posed by corruption. Such an assessment can aid strategic efforts to enhance the integrity of government operations and to reduce the negative impact of corruption on the enforcement of IWT laws. Though this guide focuses on IWT, the same approach can be useful in other areas of natural resource management, such as forests and fisheries.

  • The Plastic Policy Summit identified nine key interventions to reduce plastic pollution through immediate and long-term action items. Each section of the full report focuses on an intervention, providing an overview, the key components of the relevant breakout discussions, the action items that emerged, case studies, and additional resources.

  • One of the most important factors that prevents people from using evidence in organizational decision-making is that evidence is not perceived as relevant or important to their work (Fabian et al., 2019). It is important, therefore, that those who focus on generating and synthesizing evidence establish mechanisms that encourage direct engagement with target users of evidence. This briefing identifies factors that researchers should consider in developing narrative stories about research. At the end of the briefing are a variety of resources, tools, and techniques that can help in this process.

  • Cognitive biases can undermine decision-making processes and obscure the influence of evidence. This briefing describes key cognitive biases and provides an overview of eight available tools and techniques that can be used to counter them in organizational decision-making.

  • WWF is a conservation organization and seeks to advance its mission - a world in which both people and nature thrive - on the fundamental principle that positive outcomes for both people and nature depend on firmly anchoring and integrating human rights into conservation practices. Promotion of gender equality is core to this approach and a cross-cutting theme for all of our work.

    Whilst respecting national laws and the role of the State, this Statement of Principles applies in the context of all WWF’s work. It is part of WWF’s core standards, which have been adopted across the WWF Network and are supported by WWF’s core values of courage, integrity, respect and collaboration.

While the protection of human rights lies with states as the ‘duty-bearer’, WWF recognizes that businesses and organizations, including ours, can play an important role in respect to human rights.

  • Les programmes de lutte contre la corruption sont rarement lin√©aires et un changement durable peut prendre de nombreuses ann√©es. Les contextes politiques peuvent changer ; Les acteurs importants peuvent entrer et salir leurs positions d'autorit√©. En outre, la programmation anti-corruption est relativement nouvelle dans le secteur de la conservation et de la gestion des ressources naturelles (GRN). Cela rend le r√¥le du suivi, de l'√©valuation et de l'apprentissage (MEL) dans le d√©veloppement d'une base de donn√©es d'une importance vitale. Cette vision d'introduction g√©n√©rale offre un r√©sum√© des approches que les concepteurs de programme, les gestionnaires de programme et les sp√©cialistes de la MEL doivent prendre en compte lors de la planification de la MEL. Cette vue d'ensemble n'aborde pas les consid√©rations sur la conception du projet.

  • This brief summarizes empirical evidence and learning from U4 research as part of the five-year, USAID-supported, Targeting Natural Resource Corruption (TNRC) Project, which focuses on helping to reduce the role that corruption plays in enabling and exacerbating environmental and social harms. The first part describes the research; the second part summarizes key findings and implications for practice.
