Discover the latest guidance from the IUCN Commission on Education and Communication and learn from conservation practitioners to gauge what works, who needs to hear it, and how it can transform your conservation impact.

Session Description

This session explores how effective communications can transform the impact of your conservation initiative, bringing awareness, funding, behavioural change and engagement. Through joint facilitation from the Centre for Conservation Action, IUCN CEC, One the Edge, and others, the importance of effective communications will be established before tangible, replicable and scalable actions to boost communications will be explored.
