WWF Global Network Initiatives

Within its global programme framework, the WWF network aspires to collectively tackle environmental issues. The Director General of WWF International, James Leape, has appealed to WWF offices worldwide to act as one WWF – with the best scientists, astute negotiators and offices from the Philippines to Mexico sharing resources and working together as one global network, we can catalyze change on a global scale.

This vision has been encapsulated into various network initiatives. These aim to accelerate and magnify large conservation wins across our priority species, places and footprint areas – and so achieve the necessary "transformational change" to achieve our twin goals of conserving biodiversity and reducing humanity's impact on nature.

WWF South Africa participates in a number of these initiatives, most significantly the Global Deal Network Initiative through which WWF offices are lobbying world leaders to agree on a fair and effective global climate deal in Copenhagen this year.
