OCTO: New Tools for Identifying OECMs Webinar

Description

A New Tool for Identifying Other Effective 

Area-Based Conservation Measures (OECMs)

Nov 28, 2023 12:00 PM EST

Many sites – termed other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) - make a vital contribution to the conservation of biodiversity, even though they are not protected areas. In 2022, OECMs were included among the ways that parties could fulfill their commitment to conserve 30% of the Earth under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. To assist government officials, land managers, and conservationists, IUCN WCPA recently published a step-by-step site level tool for identifying OECMs. This tool allows an assessor to determine if a site meets the Convention on Biological Diversity definition and criteria of an OECM. For sites which do not currently meet all the criteria, the tool serves to highlight areas where further information or improvements in governance and management are required.
