IUCN Congress: Nature*s solutions to global challenges

Nature offers more than beauty - it offers real, grounded solutions to the urgent challenges facing people and the planet. From ecological restoration to legal reform and community resilience, the conservation movement is advancing ideas that are both innovative and deeply rooted in place.

The world stands at a critical juncture after decades of conservation efforts: the path we are on is still unsustainable. Climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and global health crises are all being compounded by growing global political and socio-economic instability. 

If we do not act, they will have devastating, often irreversible effects on the planet's life-support systems—systems on which humanity's survival depends. The conservation community can no longer rely on conventional approaches alone - immediate action across every sector of society is urgently needed. 

The Congress will tackle five critical themes, each driving the bold, transformative change needed to secure a sustainable future for both nature and humanity.
