Holly Shrumm, Natural Justice, will be guest-editing an upcoming issue of the journal Policy Matters, which is produced by IUCN’s Commission on Environmental, Economic and Social Policy. The issue will focus on innovative rights-based approaches and processes that ensure the local integrity of environmental laws and policies on the conservation of biological and cultural diversity. We will be working with colleagues at GTZ, IUCN, UNU-IAS, GDF, COMPAS, and the University of Edinburgh, among others, to publish the issue in time for the CBD Conference of Parties in October.
