IUCN Membership: How to become a member?

States

States become members of IUCN by notifying the Director General of their adhesion to the IUCN Statutes. The procedures foresee that the notification of adhesion to the IUCN Statutes by a State shall be made by, or on behalf, of the Head of State, the Head of Government or the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Furthermore, a State on becoming a member shall designate one Ministry as its liaison with the IUCN Secretariat.

 

Government Agencies, NGOs and Affiliates

Organizations under these categories seeking membership of IUCN are invited to submit an application for admission to the Director General supported by a statement by the duly authorized head of the agency or organization, endorsing the objectives of IUCN. The IUCN Membership Relations Unit and the Membership Focal Point in your region will provide the application form and membership pack, including further information on the various IUCN membership categories and dues. Send your request to:
