IUCN World Conservation Congress, Barcelona 2008.

IUCN is pleased to invite its members and partners to attend the next IUCN World Conservation Congress, to be hosted by the Ministry of Environment of Spain and the Ministry of Environment and Housing of Catalonia in Barcelona (5 to 14 October 2008).

The Congress, one of the world’s most important environmental events, consists of a 4-day Forum run by our members and partners discussing cutting edge ideas, thinking and practice. The Forum leads into the 4-day IUCN Members’ Assembly, a unique global environmental parliament of governments and NGOs. This Congress will be particularly special. Sixty years ago in Fontainebleau, France, on 5 October 1948, a handful of true visionaries created our Union. Barcelona, on 5 October 2008, will welcome more than 8.000 people celebrating IUCN’s birthday, looking back on 60 years of achievement, and forward to the future.
