Delivering on Equity Scaling Up Resilient Conservation Action

Why attend

Discover how the IUCN Green List ensures credible, evidence-based recognition of successful conservation. Learn how independent assurance strengthens trust among governments, communities, and funders, and why it matters for scaling conservation impact.

Session Description

How do we know when conservation is truly effective, equitable, and sustainable? Beyond good intentions and self-reported success, the IUCN Green List relies on a robust assurance system that provides independent, transparent, and credible validation of results.
This session explores how assurance builds trust in conservation outcomes, drawing on experiences from site managers, assessors, and partners. Through short interventions and interactive exchange, participants will learn why assurance is critical for policy adoption, donor confidence, and community legitimacy.
Join us to understand how the Green List transforms conservation “claims” into proven, credible achievements — and how this rigorous process can support your own work in nature conservation.
