The IUCN World Conservation Congress has grown to be the world’s largest and most democratic recurring conservation event in the world, bringing the expertise and influence of its powerful membership to bear on the most pressing issues of the time. It is where the world comes together to set priorities and drive conservation and sustainable development action. The event has three main components: The Members’ Assembly, where IUCN Members vote on priority actions; the Forum, a global marketplace of conservation science and innovation; and the Exhibition, where exhibitors can showcase their work to Congress participants and the public.
At the World Conservation Congress this year, The Nature-Based Economy Working Group of Task Force III on “Governance, Business Models and Financial Mechanisms” of the European Commission will have a session to discuss with the in-person audience the draft white paper “From Nature-based solutions to the nature-based economy” whose online consultation process is now open.
