Learn, share, network and influence

Early-bird registration prices for the IUCN World Conservation Congress 2020 in Marseille, France end 11 March. Register today to be sure you get the best rate.

The IUCN Congress is the largest marketplace for conservation and sustainable development science, practice and policy, and the only event where governments, non-government and indigenous peoples’ organisations decide on conservation and sustainable development priorities together. In this “super year” for decisions on nature, the Congress will be a key platform for shaping nature conservation worldwide for years to come.

Do not miss this opportunity to learn, share, network and help define a just and sustainable relationship for humanity and our planet.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) update

IUCN and the Government of France are committed to holding the IUCN World Conservation Congress 11-19 June 2020 in Marseille and preparations continue as planned.

The health and wellbeing of participants is our paramount concern and we continue to follow the recommendations of national and international public health authorities concerning the coronavirus (COVID-19).

Should a change take place, we will announce it on the Congress website and through this newsletter.

In the unlikely event that the IUCN World Conservation Congress is cancelled by IUCN or the French Ministry of Ecological and Solidarity Transition due to coronavirus or any other force majeure, the registration fees will be fully reimbursed (not reimbursed: bank transfers fees, carbon footprint offset and any other expense related to the registration process).
