World Conservation Congress
The IUCN World Conservation Congress, to be held in Barcelona from 5 to 14 October 2008, is the world's largest and most important environmental event covering a broad range of issues. It brings together more than 8,000 leaders from governments, NGOs, the United Nations, business, scientific associations and community organizations.
Over 10 days, these decision-makers will debate the best ways to tackle environmental and development challenges. They will share pragmatic solutions to pressing problems. They will commit to a wide range solutions and partnerships. And the governments and NGOs will vote on issues and action-plans.
3 issues will be in the spotlight in Barcelona:
- How we deal with climate change
- How healthy environments contribute to healthy communities and economies
- How we safeguard the unique diversity of life in all its forms
The World Conservation Congress will produce a range of concrete solutions for the world to become truly sustainable in the next two decades.
