The Regional Fora will provide Members, Commissions and Secretariat with an opportunity to meet and prepare for the next IUCN World Conservation Congress, taking place from 6 to 15 September 2012, in Jeju, Republic of Korea.
The agendas of the Regional Fora will include consultation on the IUCN Programme 2013-2016 and on the changes proposed to the governance of the Union from the IUCN Council, as well as training sessions on all aspects of the Congress (motions process, accreditation, voting, etc.) to ensure Members are well prepared to exercise their rights and to get the most out of the experience.
