VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

WWF’s vision is to build a future in which people live in harmony with nature. Our mission is to conserve nature and reduce the most pressing threats to the diversity of life on Earth. We focus on six major goals in the areas of Climate, Freshwater, Forests, Oceans, Wildlife, and Food. We also seek to address three key drivers of environmental degradation: markets, finance, and poor governance. Together, these efforts propel coordinated approaches toward meeting our goals: 1. Climate: Ensure a climate-resilient and zero carbon world, powered by renewable energy. 2. Freshwater: Ensure the health of the world’s major basins is improving or maintained. 3. Forests: Conserve the world’s more important forests to sustain nature’s diversity, benefit our climate, and support human well-being. 4. Oceans: Ensure a resilient ocean sustains marine life and functioning ecosystems that support rich biodiversity, food security, and sustainable livelihoods. 5. Wildlife: Ensure the world’s most iconic species—including tigers, rhinos, and elephants— are secured and recovering in the wild. 6. Food: Drive sustainable food systems to conserve nature and feed humanity.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

By compounding the efforts in all six goal areas and working in partnership with foundations, governments, businesses, communities, individuals, and our more than six million supporters, WWF can conserve many of the world’s most ecologically important regions. To accomplish this, WWF aims to • protect and restore species and their habitats • co-design conservation efforts with local communities and support them in leading these efforts • transform markets and policies to reduce the impact of the production and consumption of commodities • ensure that the value of nature is reflected in decisions made by individuals, communities, governments, and businesses • mobilize hundreds of millions of people to support conservation Current international commitments to protect nature do not match the scale of the threats our planet is facing. In 2021, world leaders came together to set new goals for the Paris Climate Accord. And in 2022, they will meet to discuss a new framework for protecting nature within the UN Convention of Biological Diversity. We are asking nations to move swiftly to meet and exceed the climate goals set in 2021 to put us on a path to net-zero emissions by 2050, and to commit to a new framework in 2022 that will stop the planet’s sixth mass extinction.
