A WCPA highlight was the Protected Areas: Conserving Nature to Protect our Future session, a youth-led workshop for intergenerational dialogue and international exchange. Participants outlined solutions for providing more opportunities for young professionals, and discussed the success and sustainability of our collective actions and strategies to support a 30-by-30 target for well-protected, well-managed and well-governed systems of protected and conserved areas.   These recommendations, will be incorporated into a larger Summit Outcome Report, will be presented to the IUCN Members Assembly and at a follow-up one-day Summit during the IUCN World Conservation Congress.

The opening and closing sessions and some of the intergenerational dialogues are available on the IUCN YouTube channel. All other recordings, including the WCPA session, will be available soon on the Global Youth Summit YouTube channel.
