While the 2020 Global Congress had to be postponed for next year, on the fiftieth anniversary of Earth Day on 22 April 2020, the ILCN/ELCN (online) Earth Day Plenary highlighted the importance of leadership at all levels of society – from national, subnational, and local government to civic and grassroots initiatives – to protect natural and cultural resources for the benefit of present and future generations.

In case you missed it, the recording of the plenary is now available.

During this plenary a written Message of Support from HRH Prince of Wales to the Delegates of the International Land Conservation Network and European Land Conservation Network Global Congress was read.
