Throughout 2011, IUCN’s regional offices have been busy preparing for the Congress by holding Regional Conservation Fora which debate the most critical issues facing each region and how best to address them.
These events help shape regional environmental agendas which will feed into global discussions at next year’s Congress. They act as a platform for IUCN Member organizations and partners to exchange experiences and best practice on nature conservation, and help pave the way for a sustainable future in their respective regions.
Here we learn about the challenges facing each region and how preparations are under way to make the Congress an effective catalyst for action to address them.
