ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the theoretical connections, knowledge creation, and diffusion at International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) for national and international program development. To maintain that niche, IUCN has been working in its four thematic program areas: changing the climate forecast, naturally energizing the future, managing ecosystems for human well-being, and greening the world economy. Global Environmental Governance is the sum of organizations, policy instruments, financing mechanisms, rules, procedures, and norms that regulate the processes of global environmental protection. Stakeholder theory has been used to examine the system of the relationships and to understand the degree of relationships and their benefit. IUCN as an organization and institution builder has been creating conservation knowledge typically through the establishment of “set of rules generated through its cumbersome resolution processes and practices”. IUCN needs to create a more trustworthy environment to manage its identity as membership-based hybrid conservation organization.
