A Global Gathering for the Environment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Organized every four years, the <strong>IUCN World Conservation Congress<\/strong> is the leading international event for biodiversity conservation and the sustainable management of natural resources. This Congress brings together thousands of participants: political leaders, scientific experts, civil society members, Indigenous peoples, businesses, and academics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next edition will take place from <strong>October 9 to 15, 2025, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates<\/strong>. It will be preceded by <strong>regional conservation forums<\/strong> held between April and October 2024, aimed at enhancing discussions on global environmental solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Objectives and Impact<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Congress aims to improve environmental governance by fostering collaboration among various stakeholders. Its goals include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Highlighting concrete solutions<\/strong> to address global environmental challenges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Promoting shared governance<\/strong>, where responsibilities and benefits of conservation are equitably distributed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Strengthening political and social commitments<\/strong> to sustainable development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its inception, the IUCN World Conservation Congress has played a central role in adopting impactful resolutions and recommendations, directly contributing to international conservation policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. The Three Pillars of the Congress<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>a) The Forum<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Forum serves as a <strong>public debate platform<\/strong> open to all. Proposed activities include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>High-level dialogues<\/strong> gathering global leaders to discuss environmental and climate challenges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Workshops and technical sessions<\/strong> to explore innovative solutions and enhance participants&#8217; skills.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Interdisciplinary exchanges<\/strong> that promote the sharing of experiences and best practices in conservation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>b) The Members\u2019 Assembly<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Assembly acts as the <strong>world\u2019s environmental parliament<\/strong> and is unique in its structure. Comprised of IUCN government and NGO members, it adopts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Resolutions<\/strong> that guide international conservation efforts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Common policies<\/strong>, strengthening cooperation between public and private actors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>c) The Exhibition<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Exhibition offers participants a showcase to present their work, innovations, and research. Open to the public, it allows exhibitors to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Highlight concrete environmental solutions<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Build collaborations<\/strong> between businesses, NGOs, and academic institutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Raise awareness<\/strong> among a broader audience about conservation challenges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Host Country Selection and National Engagement<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, the Congress is hosted by an <strong>IUCN Member State<\/strong>, selected through a rigorous process approximately three years prior to the event. For the host country, this represents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An opportunity to <strong>demonstrate leadership in environmental issues<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A unique platform to <strong>promote its biodiversity, history, and culture<\/strong> on a global scale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The upcoming edition in <strong>Abu Dhabi<\/strong> highlights the increasing commitment of Middle Eastern nations to addressing environmental challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. History of the World Conservation Congress<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since <strong>1948<\/strong>, the Congress has evolved to become a central event in global conservation efforts. Initially focused solely on the Members\u2019 Assembly, it expanded in <strong>1996<\/strong> with the inclusion of the Forum, enabling open and interdisciplinary dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Notable Past Editions:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>2021<\/strong>: Marseille, France<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2016<\/strong>: Hawai\u02bbi, United States<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2012<\/strong>: Jeju, South Korea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2008<\/strong>: Barcelona, Spain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Accountability and Gender Equality<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The IUCN places great importance on <strong>social responsibility<\/strong> and gender equality. The Congress adheres to <strong>guidelines<\/strong> for gender-responsive assemblies and implements a <strong>strict anti-harassment policy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":480689,"template":"","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"event_listing_category":[],"event_listing_type":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-480688","1":"event_listing","2":"type-event_listing","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"pmpro-has-access"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Abu Dhabi: The IUCN World Conservation Congress - 2025 \u00e9dition - Financial Afrik<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.financialafrik.com\/en\/event\/abu-dhabi-the-iucn-world-conservation-congress-2025-edition\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Abu Dhabi: The IUCN World Conservation Congress - 2025 \u00e9dition\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"1.
