<p>Dear Members and Supporters of the IYRP Global Alliance,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>As many of you are aware, the IUCN World Conservation Congress (WCC) 2025 will take place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, from 9 to 15 October 2025.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>With the support of six IUCN member organizations within our Alliance, we have submitted a motion on IYRP2026. If and when the motion is endorsed for review, we will reach out to IUCN member organizations and commission members among you to contribute to
the process before it is voted at the IUCN Forum.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Meanwhile, we, as Yolda Initiative and Alliance for Mediterranean Nature & Culture, would also like to submit a proposal for an IYRP2026 event at WCC.
</span>To ensure a well-coordinated effort, we kindly ask those that will attend WCC and willing to contribute to the event to inform us. This will allow us to collectively develop a strong proposal before the submission deadline (14 February 2025).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Looking forward to your responses.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>All the best,<o:p></o:p></p>
