contents This paper introduces a nonlinear conjugate gradient method (NCGM) for addressing the robust counterpart of uncertain multiobjective optimization problems (UMOPs). Here, the robust counterpart is defined as the minimum across objective-wise worst-case scenarios. There are some drawbacks to using scalarization techniques to solve the robust counterparts of UMOPs, such as the pre-specification and restrictions of weights, and function importance that is unknown beforehand. NCGM is free from any kind of priori chosen scalars or ordering information of objective functions as accepted in scalarization methods. With the help of NCGM, we determine the critical point for the robust counterpart of UMOP, which is the robust critical point for UMOP. To tackle this robust counterpart using the NCGM, the approach involves constructing and solving a subproblem to determine a descent direction. Subsequently, a new direction is derived based on parameter selection methods such as Fletcher-Reeves, conjugate descent, Dai-Yuan, Polak-Ribi$\grave{e}$re-Polyak, and Hestenes-Stiefel. An Armijo-type inexact line search is employed to identify an appropriate step length. Utilizing descent direction and step length, a sequence is generated, and convergence of the proposed method is established. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified and compared against an existing method using a set of test problems.
