Reducing Climate Overshoot Risks Scaling Up Resilient Conservation Action

Why attend

Four years after subnational governments were recognised as members of the IUCN, this event aims to strengthen their voice within our Union and enable all members who wish to do so to meet them.

Session Description

This event aims to bring together a large number of subnational governments so that they can present the conservation work they have carried out since the Marseille Congress, discuss their future contributions and engage in dialogue with other IUCN members.
