ANSWER: Plight of island nations due to rising seas
 
  • The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN)’s World Conservation Congress is held every four years in a different location around the globe.
  • This year, the conference theme of "Planet at the Crossroads" is aimed at exposing the plight of island nations that are at risk of disappearing in the coming decades due to rising seas.
  • Arguments are expected on hotly debated issues such as what to do about domestic ivory markets which lead to the killing of elephants for their tusks, and how to feed the world's growing population without exhausting its natural resources.
