The 2025 IUCN World Conservation Congress Changemakers Program is now accepting applications. This initiative brings together young leaders and innovators who are spearheading groundbreaking projects aimed at tackling biodiversity loss, climate change, and sustainability challenges within their communities. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with global decision-makers, specialists, and practitioners at the upcoming IUCN World Conservation Congress, where they can highlight their transformative ideas, share knowledge, and contribute to meaningful efforts toward a more sustainable future.

Those selected will have the chance to present their entrepreneurial environmental solutions to influential figures from government, the private sector, and civil society. The program seeks individuals between the ages of 18 and 35 who have demonstrated leadership in creating and implementing forward-thinking initiatives in conservation, climate action, and sustainable development. Ideal candidates should be actively working on a solution that aligns with the core themes of the IUCN Congress.

Successful applicants will be granted delegate access to the prestigious event in Abu Dhabi, where they will pitch their innovative projects in English, French, or Spanish to a global audience. The program offers unparalleled networking opportunities with prominent environmentalists, policymakers, and industry leaders. Additionally, participants will receive full sponsorship covering travel, accommodation, meals, and other essential expenses throughout their stay in Abu Dhabi.
