Why attend

Conserving our planet means empowering local actors to pioneer and see through locally-relevant solutions. But how do we ensure resources reach the right grantees, in an efficient manner, and maximise impact? Come to listen, learn and share in the impact of IUCN's grant programmes with grant-makers and grantees alike.

Session Description

IUCN's support to local conservation actors comes through diverse grant facilities, implemented across the Secretariat's programmes and regions. Collectively, these grants support +500 grantees, across 50 facilities, with +€/$150 million annually. This session brings together representatives from across IUCN's grant-making facilities to showcase the impact of our grants and share opportunities to get involved.
