Every year, the IUCN Leaders Forum brings together influential people from all over the world to discuss cutting-edge solutions to pressing global issues, make audacious promises, form alliances, and spark action for meaningful change in nature conservation and sustainability.
The IUCN Leaders Forum will take place from October 13–15, 2022, in Jeju Province, Republic of Korea, with the subject “Building nature-positive economies and societies.”
Three main goals will be the focal point of this event:
Gather prominent and creative leaders (from the public and business sectors, civil society, and sub-national governments, among others) in order to forge new partnerships, discover creative solutions, and advance the global agenda on this topic;
create a forum for discussion of new topics and influence market dynamics in the future about environmental and climate-related challenges;
Provide a platform for young changemakers so they may spread the word about their initiatives and build connections with possible partners in the public and business sectors to further their projects.
