AI solution for IUCN’s resolutions & recommendations management
Challenge
IUCN faced significant challenges in managing an extensive repository of over 1,466 Resolutions and Recommendations, with 695 still active. The complexity of tracking policy evolution through amendments and understanding relationships between active and archived documents required an advanced AI system capable of processing and synthesizing information cohesively. Additionally, there was a need for intelligent summarization with contextual awareness, demanding sophisticated natural language processing to recognize patterns, thematic clusters, and historical context. Balancing this advanced technology with a user-friendly interface was crucial to ensure that IUCN staff could efficiently query, retrieve, and synthesize policy information without extensive training.

Solution
To address these challenges, S-PRO developed an AI solution that focuses on summarizing and synthesizing key policy documents. The system allows users to query specific themes across multiple resolutions and recommendations by grouping policies into thematic clusters such as oceans, climate change, and governance. An interactive chat interface was implemented for intuitive access. The technology stack includes Microsoft Azure for secure hosting, Azure OpenAI and Cognitive Search for streamlined document indexing and retrieval, and Hugging Face Chat UI for a user-friendly interface. This combination ensures that IUCN's data remains protected while providing efficient tools for staff to access and work with policy documents.
