UCN World Conservation Congress

The IUCN World Conservation Congress brings together global leaders to shape conservation and sustainable development priorities. Over 1,400 IUCN Member organizations, including governments, civil society, and Indigenous Peoples, vote on key issues guiding humanity’s relationship with nature. As the largest forum for conservation science, policy, and practice, the Congress attracts scientists, policymakers, business leaders, and experts to share innovations and research. Its unique blend of state and non-state actors gives the Congress a strong mandate to influence global conservation efforts and set the agenda for protecting nature for years to come.
