The Abu Dhabi Call to Action sets out a focused set of key priorities that reflect the most pressing global challenges and opportunities discussed at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It brings together the collective outcomes, commitments, and calls for action expressed throughout Congress, centred around reaffirming nature as the foundation of human and planetary well-being; strengthening multilateralism and collective action; ensuring justice and inclusive participation; advancing science, knowledge, innovation and education; and scaling up and aligning resources for nature and climate action.
An IUCN Members-based process of consultation, review, and advice shaped the Action Plan, which was presented and welcomed by acclamation during the 9th sitting of the Members’ Assembly on 15 October 2025.
