IUCN welcomes proposals to host the IUCN Leaders Forum 2024

Hosting the IUCN Leaders Forum provides a unique opportunity for a country and city to demonstrate and promote its leadership on global environmental and sustainability issues. It enables them to showcase national and local conservation programmes and activities, and its linkages to other sectors of government and the economy.

The host government and host city can use the IUCN Leaders Forum as a vehicle to launch national or local campaigns on nature-related issues in order to mobilise civil society, businesses and government agencies around key sustainability challenges. In addition, host countries can use the IUCN Leaders Forum to drive the international environmental agenda by rallying global leaders at the forum to launch new initiatives or advance existing ones. Finally, the host country's and city's biodiversity, history and culture willl gain international exposure.
