Why attend

Celebrate a milestone for the IUCN Green List as new countries and Protected and Conserved Areas (PCAs) commit to the programme. This session will showcase leadership, partnerships, and community voices driving equitable and effective conservation, and invite others to join the growing global movement for quality conservation outcomes.

Session Description

The IUCN Green List Programme sets the global benchmark for fair and effective conservation in Protected and Conserved Areas. This event marks a new chapter, as countries and PCA sites from across regions formalise their commitment to the Green List. Through a symbolic signing and storytelling, the session will highlight why governments, site managers, Indigenous Peoples, and local communities see value in the Green List as a pathway to achieving the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework targets. Speakers will share motivations, experiences, and aspirations—linking local site action to global conservation impact. This is both a celebration and a call to action, showcasing how expanding the Green List community strengthens accountability, legitimacy, and equity in nature conservation worldwide.
