Pragmatic solutions: an assessment of progress 2005

The World Conservation Union unites those who recognize the scale and complexity of our collective impact on the earth’s natural resources. People know of the rising risks, and ask for pragmatic solutions. This report measures our ability to deliver those solutions. It shows how we explore options and help make decisions to transform our economies and societies. It assesses our capacity to make a difference in a world that is still defining its common future, and to shift the relationship between people and nature onto a sustainable and equitable trajectory.
