Let’s meet at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Marseille!

31 August 2021 | by Alexandre Dechelotte

It’s the new season at Plastic Odyssey! And it is under the sign of the ecological transition with the World Conservation Congress, “the most important environmental event in the world”. This edition will be held at home, in Marseille from September 3 to 11.

Held every four years, the IUCN World Conservation Congress brings together several thousand leaders and decision-makers from government, civil society, indigenous peoples, business and academia to address the biodiversity and climate crises.

Plastic Odyssey has responded to this initiative and we look forward to seeing you at our booth and roundtables to fight together against plastic pollution in the ocean!
