IUCN Members have adopted a new 20-year Strategic Vision and four-year Programme to guide the Union's work up to 2030.
"The world is shifting beneath our feet with startling speed. Biodiversity loss has not been halted, and is converging with climate change, pollution, and inequality in ways never experienced before," said H.E. IUCN President Razan Khalifa Al Mubarak.
Despite the challenges, President Al Mubarak expressed optimism, citing IUCN's capacity, knowledge, and collective will to address these issues. Key areas of focus include data, analysis, convening, and action, leveraging the world's largest and most diverse environmental network.
IUCN tools, publications, and resources will support this effort. As President Al Mubarak noted, "We all know that conservation works and that nature can recover. By uniting behind this purpose, we can, and we will, accelerate that recovery."
