Manager, Polar Programme IUCN
The IUCN Global Marine and Polar Programme (GMPP) is based at IUCN Headquarters in Gland, Switzerland and provides vital links for the Union and its members to all the IUCN activities that deal with marine and polar issues, including projects and initiatives of the Regional Offices and the six IUCN Commissions. Its co-ordination role is above and beyond the policy development and thematic guidance that it undertakes to provide to assist governments, communities and NGOs alike. The Programme’s goal is to conserve marine biodiversity by promoting, influencing and catalyzing sustainable uses and equitable sharing of resources while protecting marine ecosystems.
IUCN has long worked to protect and preserve the world’s Polar environment and is deeply concerned about ongoing threats to the Arctic and Antarctic ecosystems such as pollution, invasive species, harmful levels of fishing and the impacts from global climate change and ocean acidification. GMPP is exploring ways to promote marine ecosystem-based management (EbM) in the Arctic marine environment and identify measures for the protection of Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs). In the Antarctic GMPP is focusing on the development of MPA networks in the Southern Ocean and the development of an Antarctic Conservation Strategy.
The Manager, Polar Programme will be based in the IUCN Washington DC office and report to the Director, Global Marine and Polar Programme, who is based in IUCN Headquarters in Gland, Switzerland. For administrative purposes and US constituencies, this position will report to the Director, IUCN Washington, DC Office.
