Why attend

Celebrate and recognise the key partners and donors who make the IUCN Green List possible. This event honours their key support in advancing effective, equitable, and impactful conservation worldwide, while highlighting how strong partnerships drive progress towards global biodiversity and climate goals.

Session Description

The IUCN Green List has become a trusted global benchmark for excellence in area-based conservation, helping protected and conserved areas deliver measurable benefits for biodiversity, climate, and people. None of this would be possible without the vision, commitment, and support of our donors and partners. This recognition event is dedicated to celebrating those who have enabled the growth and impact of the Green List around the world. Participants will hear inspiring reflections from key partners, highlighting how their support has advanced conservation effectiveness, equity, and resilience across diverse landscapes and seascapes. The event will also spotlight the collective journey towards achieving global biodiversity targets, showing how partnership and collaboration remain central to scaling success. Join us to honour the champions of the Green List and to strengthen the shared commitment to a future where all protected and conserved areas can meet the highest standards of performance.
