2025 IUCN Motion Tracker

Since 2023, GCELS students, alumni, and faculty at Pace | Haub Environmental Law have been preparing for the 2025 IUCN World Conservation Congress, researching, drafting, and building coalitions behind IUCN policy motions, while raising awareness of the issues discussed in the motions. On Oct 8–16, 2025, a cohort of 4 faculty members, 5 students, and 6 alumni took this work to the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Abu Dhabi, continuing their advocacy. The result: 10 motions addressing critical environmental issues that were spearheaded by GCELS students, alums, and faculty, were adopted at the Abu Dhabi Congress. Explore the motions and follow along in real-time.
