A policy dialogue organised by IDDRI within the framework of IUCN World Parks Congress ("Parks, people, planet: inspiring solutions").
Presentation:
"This session will consider the critical contribution of traditional resource management systems to biocultural heritage and biodiversity conservation, and their potential synergies with, and limitations in the face of other approaches to meet national and international goals and targets in the areas of climate, biodiversity and development policy. It will discuss not only how traditional resource management systems can contribute to reach those national or international objectives, but also the conditions under which national and international processes can help supporting those traditional management systems—or may impinge upon them. Key questions to be considered by participants include: Is there a specificity of traditional resource management systems vis-à-vis other common pool resources management institutions? Are they particularly relevant for reaching national and international policy objectives, or particularly vulnerable groups? How are such management systems mobilized in fora—and under instruments—other than those most closely related to biodiversity?"
