Why attend
Join us for an exciting announcement for the next World Protected and Conserved Areas Congress - participants will be the first to hear where WPCAC 2027 will take place!
Session Description
Join IUCNs Director General and other high-level speakers to learn about the venue and priorities of WPCAC 2027. The IUCN World Protected and Conserved Areas Congress 2027 (WPC 27) will be a critical milestone for global conservation, arriving at a time of ecological urgency and profound societal shifts. Since the last Congress in Sydney, Australia in 2014, climate impacts, biodiversity decline, inequality, and socio-political fragmentation have worsened. At the current pace, global temperatures are projected to reach the 1.5°C threshold by 2040. WPC 27 will take place in the final years towards meeting the 2030 targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and will be uniquely positioned to help reverse these trends, setting an ambitious agenda for the decades ahead.Organised by
