IUCN: International Union for Conservation of Nature - European Regional Office
IUCN is a union of government and civil society organisations working to advance sustainable development and create a just world that values and conserves nature.
Created in 1948, it is now the world’s largest and most diverse environmental network, harnessing the knowledge, resources and reach of over 1 400 member organisations and 17000 experts. This makes it the global authority on the status of the natural world and the measures needed to safeguard it.
The European Regional Office represents IUCN at EU level and works with Member States to help deliver EU goals.
IUCN brings expertise and convening power on biodiversity and nature-based solutions to the table, aiming to bridge the environmental priorities of nature conservation and the transition from a linear to a circular model.
