Building on the momentum of IUCN World Conservation Congresses, IUCN has launched the IUCN Leaders Forum, a new series of high-level events, to convene global leaders more frequently on key topics of relevance to the international agenda.
The inaugural Leaders Forum took place in Jeju, Republic of Korea in October 2022 under the theme of Building nature-positive economies and societies. The second edition of the IUCN Leaders Forum will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, from 11 – 13 October 2023, and will focus on moving the new Global Biodiversity Framework into action, with the theme Global goals for nature: tracking progress, financing success.
