JNCC's vision and strategy
(2009)
JNCC
JNCC has developed a new strategy for 2009 and beyond. This describes a more sharply focused role for JNCC, taking full account of devolution within the UK and emphasising the unique contribution that JNCC can make to domestic and international nature conservation. JNCC aims to implement the strategy through its successive corporate and business plans.
The Vision has been received favourably by JNCC’s core stakeholders and Ministerial approval is expected shortly.
Vision for JNCC
JNCC will be recognised as a reputable
provider of high-quality evidence and advice relating to UK-wide
and international terrestrial and marine nature conservation
working with the country conservation bodies.
Mission for JNCC
JNCC provides evidence and advice to assist the
UK government and devolved administrations in developing and
implementing coherent domestic and international policies on the
protection of natural resources as an integral part of sustainable
development. The evidence and advice covers biodiversity and
geodiversity issues which arise in one or more country within the
UK and affect the interests of the UK as a whole, in the Overseas
Territories and Crown Dependencies, and, where appropriate,
internationally. JNCC disseminates knowledge to foster
understanding of these issues.
Through the Support Company, JNCC staff provide
support to enable JNCC to advance its vision and mission.
Our strengths are:
1. we operate at a UK level within a
devolved UK
2. we have a strong culture of
working with others and promoting collaboration
3. we work across multiple
geographic scales, which strengthens our evidence base and our
capability to deliver
4. we have, and draw together,
a wealth of skills and knowledge on nature conservation in the
terrestrial, freshwater and marine environments
We will:
5. contribute to the development of
the UK, EU and global evidence base and identify future challenges
to UK biodiversity and geodiversity by gathering intelligence and
assessing risk and opportunity
6. provide advice and long-term
thinking on solutions to biodiversity and geodiversity challenges,
and engage in, commission and deliver initiatives to address these
challenges:
a. outside territorial waters
b. in the Overseas Territories
and Crown Dependencies
c. globally
7. act as an informed link
between national, European and global decision-making and
implementation bodies, and provide advice on policy and
implementation and communicate best practice to stakeholders
working across and at these scales.
