LEADING STRONGER TOGETHER

Our Impact:
Convening

Stronger Together

IUCN brings together governments, representatives from non-governmental conservation organizations, Indigenous peoples’ organizations, and other advocates at global scale to protect our planet, people, and nature. Our approach to convening focuses on elevating the voice of every participant. Doing so helps ensure that our work reflects a diversity of perspectives, resulting in solutions that advance our efforts to shape a just world that values and conserves nature. IUCN events also foster a sense of camaraderie, unlock opportunities for collaboration, and spark new ideas that arise from the sharing of science, practices, and experiences.
