IUCN’s Vision and Programme chart the course for the Union’s collective action over the coming decades. Unite for Nature on the Path to 2045: A 20-year Strategic Vision for the Union outlines our long-term aspiration for “a just world that values and conserves nature.” Building on this vision, Nature 2030: One Nature, One Future – the IUCN Programme 2026 – 2029 – defines how we will turn this ambition into action through concrete goals and collaborative efforts around the globe.

Our Vision

In response to the unprecedented environmental challenges of our time, Unite for Nature on the Path to 2045: A 20-Year Strategic Vision for the Union articulates IUCN’s commitment to “a just world that values and conserves nature” and establishes a clear direction for the next two decades. It guides collective efforts to safeguard biodiversity, inspire societal engagement, and drive transformative change toward a sustainable future. 

Our Programme

Nature 2030: One nature, one future. The IUCN Programme 2026-2029 provides an ambitious plan for the entire Union to work together to deliver the Strategic Vision. It commits the Union to scaling up conservation action and creating transformative change, through fulfilling twenty-four specific Outputs over the next four years. The IUCN Programme highlights the need for strong collaboration, within the Union and with partners, during this key time for the future of life on earth.
