About the Congress

The IUCN World Conservation Congress is a pivotal event where over 1,400 member organizations, including governments, civil society, and Indigenous peoples, convene to shape the future of conservation and sustainable development. This Congress serves as a major platform for discussing pressing environmental issues and setting the global conservation agenda for the coming decade.

Key Components

The Congress features three main components:

Forum

The Forum is the largest knowledge marketplace for conservation and sustainable development, addressing a wide range of topics from wildlife conservation to climate change. It includes interactive sessions, speaker pitches, and training workshops, fostering collaboration and innovation among participants.

Exhibition

The Exhibition allows IUCN members, businesses, and academia to showcase their work and innovations to a broad audience, promoting knowledge exchange and networking opportunities.

Members' Assembly

As the highest decision-making body of IUCN, the Members' Assembly will vote on critical conservation issues, ensuring that the voices of diverse stakeholders are heard.

Venue

The event will be hosted at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), a state-of-the-art facility powered by clean energy, reflecting the Congress's commitment to sustainability. ADNEC is the largest exhibition venue in the Middle East, providing an ideal setting for this significant gathering.

Sustainability Initiatives

IUCN is dedicated to minimizing the environmental impact of the Congress through various sustainability initiatives, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting responsible practices among participants and suppliers. This commitment to sustainability is a core aspect of the Congress, aiming to lead by example in event management practices.
