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
JNCC is 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
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.

Strategic objectives

the UK, EU and global evidence base and identify future challenges
to UK biodiversity and geodiversity by gathering intelligence and
assessing risk and opportunity
- provide advice and long-term
thinking on solutions to biodiversity and geodiversity challenges,
and engage in, commission and deliver initiatives to address these
challenges:

national, European and global decision-making and implementation
bodies, and provide advice on policy and implementation and
