Dear IUCN Members,
In just three months, we will meet at the IUCN World Conservation Congress, in Hawai‘i, USA, taking place from 1 to 10 September 2016. It is my pleasure to inform you that the draft agenda approved by Council and the first set of Congress documents are available on the Congress Website.
The documents relate to matters requiring the approval of the Congress (as per Article 45 of the Rules of Procedure of the World Conservation Congress). In addition, the 2015 audited financial statements of IUCN will be published in July 2016, once they have been reviewed by the IUCN Council following receipt of the external auditors’ report.
A second series of documents, including reports to Congress of the Council, Director General and IUCN Commissions, will be circulated on 11 July 2016.
To reduce our environmental footprint, Congress correspondence and documents are sent out in electronic format only and they can be downloaded from the IUCN Congress website in all three official languages: English, French and Spanish.
I look forward to a great IUCN World Conservation Congress in Hawai‘i with your active participation.
Best regards,
Inger Andersen
IUCN Director General
