Are you passionate about environmental conservation and want to have a worldwide impact? The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) will hold its World Conservation Congress from October 9 to 15, 2025, in the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) in the United Arab Emirates. This prominent event brings together global leaders, policymakers, scholars, and changemakers to address urgent environmental issues such as biodiversity loss, climate change, and pollution.

What is the IUCN World Conservation Congress?

The IUCN World Conservation Congress is a major international event that influences conservation policies and activities. It enables governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and Indigenous communities, corporations, and youth leaders to interact and generate actionable solutions for a sustainable future. The Congress is made up of two parts: the Members' Assembly, which makes important decisions, and the Forum, which hosts discussions, workshops, and networking activities.
