Intergovernmental World Nature Organization (WNO) founded in Geneva

In Switzerland, the Intergovernmental World Nature Organization (WNO) has been founded by a number of developing and emerging countries concerned about the consequences of global warming.

Their primary focus is to combine forces, previously spread across different organizations and thus ignoring the cross-linking of the global challenges. This is accompanied by the intention to conserve financial resources and avoid duplication of efforts by different organizations. At the same time, the WNO will serve as a platform for international research. It also seeks to close the legal gap at global level and the implementation gap. According to the motto “think globally, act locally”, the WNO is characterized by a light structure that operates locally in collaboration with regional offices and serves as the link to the economic sector, NGOs and society.
