Project Everyone

Nature House – IUCN Congress

Abu Dhabi (UAE)

Saturday 11th October 2025 - Thursday 11th September 2025
Abu Dhabi (UAE)

Project Everyone is proud to present the first Nature House Abu Dhabi and the first activation on the periphery of the IUCN Congress.

With a one-day programme of events exploring topics across climate, nature and ocean, we hope to further raise the profile of the IUCN Congress as an important stepping stone to COP30. Our ambition here is to support and encourage the wider community to align work, action, and advocacy both ahead of Bélem, and post-COP30 too.

2 years after COP28 in Dubai, we also see this as an opportunity to explore the legacy of the climate conference on the region, in a way that centres local voices and platforms solutions being developed at the grassroots level.

Thematically, we will look to align ourselves to the five focus areas identified by the Congress – Scaling Up Resilient Conservation Action – Reducing Climate Overshoot Risks – Delivering on Equity – Transitioning to Nature-Positive Economies and Societies – Disruptive Innovation and Leadership for Conservation – whilst also exploring crosscutting themes underpinning all of the above, such as education, philanthropy, public-private partnerships, and more.
