Get involved
At the IUCN Congress 2025, we believe that every action counts. Creating a sustainable event requires all of us - organisers, hosts, partners, suppliers, and attendees – to act together. As an attendee, your choices play a vital role in creating positive outcomes for both people and nature.
Here are some simple, practical ways you can get involved:
Choose catering wisely
- Enjoy the carefully selected menu options provided on-site, with a focus on locally sourced, seasonal, and predominantly vegetarian or vegan meals.
- By making conscious food choices, you directly contribute to reducing emissions and food waste.
Reduce waste
- Pick up your reusable water bottle upon arrival and refill it at dedicated water stations throughout the venue, helping us reduce single-use plastics and overall waste.
- Use the clearly marked recycling waste management stations and follow the labels to ensure items are sorted correctly.
- Return your badge on your last day at Congress so it can have a second life.
Stay connected and inspired
- Visit the Sustainability Booth on-site to learn more about IUCN Congress 2025 initiatives.
- Follow sustainability updates on the Congress website and social media channels. Together, we can amplify impact and inspire others to act.
By taking these actions, you help reduce waste, lower emissions, support local initiatives, and promote responsible consumption. More importantly, you become part of a collective effort to show that sustainability is not only possible – it is essential.
Together, we can make the IUCN Congress 2025 a model of sustainable, inclusive, and impactful convening.
