Framework

= = = = ==Framework for Forming Intergenerational Partnerships for Sustainability== The Framework is intended to provide individuals, organizations, business, and governments of all ages with guidance for forming IPS. Specifically, it is referenced in the Resolution for IPS as a supporting document. The Framework is a living document, having been through several iterations, below.

The Framework is structured around four key questions:
 * 1) What is an IPS?
 * 2) Why form an IPS?
 * 3) What principles frame and guide IPS?
 * 4) What are some possible mechanisms for forming IPS?

The IUCN Draft
The "IUCN Draft" of the Framework, generated through a workshop at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Barcelona, Spain in October 2008, made the CSD-16 Draft specific to the IUCN family. It focuses on recommendations for implementing IPS for the IUCN Council, Secretariat, Members, and Commissions, complimenting and supporting the IUCN Resolution for IPS.
