ESMS Grievance mechanism
Deadline:

The LIFE4BEST Secretariat has put in place an ESMS Grievance Mechanism. The purpose of the mechanism is to allow communities, project stakeholders or affected groups who believe that they may be negatively affected by the executing entity’s failure to respect IUCN’s environmental and social principles, standards, or procedures to raise a complaint to the LIFE4BEST Secretariat. The ESMS Grievance Mechanism and the respective complaint procedure are described on IUCN’s public website at http://www.iucn.org/esms. The complaint can be submitted in the following way:

First step: Contact the LIFE4BEST Secretariat using the address LIFE4BEST.Secretariat@iucn.org. If the concern is not resolved through the first step, project stakeholders or affected groups can proceed with the second step.

Second step: Submit a complaint to IUCN LIFE4BEST Secretariat, IUCN Headquarters, Rue Mauverney 28, 1196 Gland, Switzerland by post or by email to LIFE4BEST.Secretariat@iucn.org.

A suggested format for submitting the complaint is available in this section of the website.
