As the global conservation community prepares for the IUCN World Conservation Congress 2025 in Abu Dhabi, the call for collaboration and bold action has never been more urgent. This landmark event will bring together governments, Indigenous peoples’ organizations, businesses, and conservation leaders to exchange knowledge, strengthen partnerships, and develop innovative strategies to address today’s most pressing environmental challenges.
Under the theme “Powering Transformative Conservation,” the Congress will serve as a dynamic platform to drive impactful solutions for biodiversity protection, ecosystem restoration, and sustainability efforts worldwide. IUCN, the world’s largest and most diverse environmental network, has long been at the forefront of advancing science-based conservation, shaping policies, and catalyzing meaningful change. By building on our collective achievements, we will chart a bold course for the future of nature conservation.
The Congress also marks a pivotal moment for IUCN’s 20-year strategy, which lays out a clear roadmap for achieving long-term conservation goals. Aligning discussions and actions with this vision will ensure that IUCN remains a leading force in driving global environmental progress.
