“It has been a privilege to support the IUCN World Conservation Congress, a landmark global event that aligns perfectly with Chery’s ESG vision and our dedication to smart, sustainable mobility. As the Exclusive VIP Mobility Partner, our participation reflected the synergy between technology, innovation, and environmental stewardship. We take great pride in enabling cleaner, more intelligent transportation solutions that echo the UAE’s commitment to sustainability and its role as a leader in global climate action.”

Chery UAE’s presence at the Congress reinforced its position as a mobility partner of purpose, driving awareness of the automotive industry’s pivotal role in advancing sustainability agendas. Through its groundbreaking Plug-In Hybrid technology, Chery continues to redefine modern transportation by merging efficiency, innovation, and environmental consciousness to meet the evolving needs of future cities.

As the world’s largest environmental decision-making forum, the IUCN World Conservation Congress 2025 brought together over 10,000 participants from governments, NGOs, academia, and industry to define the next 20-year global vision for nature conservation.

Featuring more than 1,000 sessions, the Congress marked a pivotal milestone with the launch of the Abu Dhabi Action Plan, a global call to accelerate urgent and practical action toward a net-zero, resilient, and nature-positive future. The Plan outlines five key priorities: reaffirming nature as the foundation of well-being, strengthening multilateralism, ensuring justice and inclusion, advancing knowledge and innovation, and scaling up resources for nature and climate action. This collective vision for transformative action resonates deeply with Chery’s ongoing sustainability journey, reinforcing its commitment to a greener, more equitable future.

Further underscoring global unity in conservation, the IUCN welcomed over 100 new Members into its Union, including six states – Armenia, Tajikistan, the Marshall Islands, Gabon, Tuvalu, and Zimbabwe -demonstrating growing international momentum to protect nature and advance climate resilience.

At the IUCN Members’ Assembly held concurrently with the IUCN Congress in Abu Dhabi, 148 Resolutions were adopted by IUCN Members, including the first policy on synthetic biology in relation to nature conservation and motions to strengthen governance and inclusion.

Members approved the 20-year Strategic Vision and a new programme for the next four-year period, in addition to re-electing H.E. Razan Khalifa Al Mubarak, President of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), for a second term, following a four-year term marked by strengthened governance, renewed trust, and the elevation of nature within global climate and biodiversity agendas, reaffirming her pioneering role as the first president from West Asia and the second woman to lead IUCN in its 77-year history.

Ms. Al Mubarak said of her re-election as President of IUCN:

“Over the past four years, I have witnessed the extraordinary strength of our Union — our Members, Commissions, and partners — working together across boundaries and disciplines. I remain profoundly grateful for the support of the UAE leadership and its institutions, whose belief in conservation has inspired my own. This new mandate is both a privilege and a responsibility, to continue turning ambition into action for nature and for humanity.”

With Abu Dhabi hosting the IUCN Congress and setting the stage for global conservation policy, Chery UAE’s partnership exemplified how mobility can serve as a catalyst for change, helping connect people, ideas, and action in pursuit of a greener tomorrow.
