Why attend
Join us to explore how youth leadership and collaborative conservation strengthen the IUCN Green List. Connect with EAGL members and youth from around the world, and discover how inclusive engagement enhances equity, effectiveness, and innovation in protected areas; beyond certification.
Session Description
This dynamic session will bring together young conservation leaders and Green List stakeholders to explore how youth engagement and process integrity (inclusive, transparent and empowering) can jointly strengthen the effectiveness and equity of protected and conserved areas (PCAs). Through storytelling, dialogue, and collaborative activities, the session will highlight youth-led conservation efforts, promote best practices in Green List implementation, and foster meaningful connections between youth, EAGLs, and site managers. Participants will engage in discussions around transparency, legitimacy, and continuous improvement in the Green List process, while also identifying actionable pathways for youth to contribute to collaborative conservation. The session will close with a call to action and a fun, interactive quiz to reinforce learning.Speaker
