Its mission is to bring together scientists, educators and policymakers and to strengthen the role of biological knowledge in addressing global challenges, such as biodiversity loss and climate change.

IUBS supports collaboration across biological disciplines, international research initiatives, scientific conferences and publications. Its key areas of activity include biodiversity, taxonomy, ecology and climate change. The organisation also promotes biology education and science communication and seeks to strengthen the use of scientific knowledge in societal decision-making.

In addition, IUBS supports the professional development and international networking of early-career scientists and promotes equity, diversity and ethical principles within the scientific community.

Through its activities, IUBS aims to strengthen the role of biological sciences and promote the use of scientific knowledge in securing a sustainable future for nature and society.
