The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is a membership Union
uniquely composed of both government and civil society organisations. It provides public, private and non-governmental organisations with the knowledge and tools that enable human progress, economic development and nature conservation to take place together. Created in 1948, IUCN has evolved into the world’s largest and most diverse environmental network. It harnesses the experience, resources and reach of its 1,300 Member organisations and the input of some 13,000 experts. IUCN is the global authority on the status of the natural world and the measures needed to safeguard it.
Description
The IUCN Regional Conservation Forum for Europe, North and Central Asia, took place in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, from 1 to 3 July 2019, as part of Union-wide preparation for the IUCN Congress 2020.
The high-level session, including a panel debate on Post 2020 Biodiversity Framework, set the stage on the first day of the Forum.
In the afternoon there were conversations on thematic sessions on selected topics of regional interest, such as sustainable farming, natural capital, climate change and many more.
Plus, outstanding networking opportunities by enjoying poster exhibitions, stands and knowledge cafés and preparations for the IUCN Congress 2020. After introducing and discussing the IUCN Global Programme 2021-2024 they held separate sessions to identify priorities for the two regions, and explore ways to reflect them adequately in our next four-year workplans.
