Why attend

Gain insights into the strategic value and measurable impact of the IUCN Green List. This is an opportunity for you to hear directly from practitioners, explore new opportunities for engagement, and discover how the IUCN Green List can support your conservation journey.

Session Description

This dynamic session will present two complementary efforts that showcase the IUCN Green List’s role in delivering effective area-based conservation. First, the IUCN Green List Value Proposition will be introduced, outlining the strategic benefits of implementing the Standard and engaging with the programme; from strengthened management and credible performance assessment to enhanced stakeholder participation and global recognition. Then, the session will reveal initial findings from the IUCN Green List Impact Report, offering data-driven insights into how the programme has influenced protected and conserved areas worldwide. Voices from the field will bring these insights to life, sharing real-world experiences and reflections from diverse contexts. Whether you are a site manager, a policymaker, or a nature conservation practitioner, this session will help you understand how the IUCN Green List drives measurable impact and inspires excellence in protected and conserved areas’ conservation globally.
