Indique cuáles han sido los resultados/logros obtenidos en el marco de las actividades realizadas: 
GLOBAL ECOSYSTEM TYPOLOGY (GET)
- The GET is being prepared for adoption as a United Nations Classification by the Bureau of the Committee of Experts on International Statistical Classifications (UNCEISC)
- There has been a significant Convene/Networking effort, around the development of World Ecosystems Atlas, led by GEO. IUCN members attended the convening meeint go the Atlas in Geneva in May 2023, and continue to engage in planning. The scope of the Atlas and funding are still in discussion.

RED LIST OF ECOSYSTEMS (RLE)
- Adopted as a headline indicator in GBF may encourage future adaptation at the national or regional level as stated in the resolution
- RLE adopted as statutory listing criteria for ecosystems in Western Australia’s biodiversity legislation
- Paper on roles of the Red List of Ecosystems in implementing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework in review
- Paper reviewing progress and impact of RLE in Africa accepted in Conservation Biology
- First RLE for Abu Dhabi completed
- Third national RLE for Norway underway
- Draft revision of RLE guidelines in preparation
¿Qué esfuerzos se están llevando a cabo para superar dichos obstáculos?: 
Ongoing resourcing limitations to red listing activities Waiting to see if the GEO-led "World Ecosystem Atlas" initiative is aligned with IUCN GET (and would significantly contribute to this resolution). Currently CEM Members are very actively contributing to initiative.
Indique y describa brevemente las actividades que se realizarán en el futuro para la implementación de esta Resolución:
