Indicate and briefly describe any actions that have been carried out to implement this Resolution: 
ActionDescriptionStatus
Activit�s visant � influencer et/ou promouvoir les politiquesThe UK Peatland Strategy was launched in 2018. The UK Peatland Strategy aims to drive and co-ordinate action across the UK, supported by country level plans that will establish a course for peatland conservation and management at a more detailed level. It has also been used as an example of peatland strategy and showcased internationally. Preparatory work is underway to develop a reporting spreadsheet to be distributed to IUCN National Committees for monitoring purposes against the Resolutions recommendations for strategic peatland plans. The resolution has been promoted through an IUCN UK Peatland Programme (IUCN UK PP) and Climate Change Briefing, at the IUCN UK PP Conference 2018 as well as several International events including COP24, and through social media. On-going
Activit�s techniques/scientifiquesA baseline summary of strategic action in peatland nations is being undertaken. This is being delivered in two phases: 1. An initial desktop review of available (English language) information (see “data collection”) from all 175 peatland countries including all IUCN member states will identify which countries have peatland strategies in place or in preparation. 2. More detailed information will be sought via a questionnaire to a sub-set of these countries where peatlands are most extensive, emit most GHGs and/or have the most significant carbon stocks This approach will target both countries with a significant peat resource and also countries with have large emissions arising from damaged peatlands, thus fitting closely with the conserve and protect ethos of the IUCN Resolution 43. A suggested list (amalgamated from the ‘Global Peatland CO2 Picture’ report) is provided in Annex 1. The outputs from this assessment can also feed into the policy sections of the Global Assessment of Peatlands (2018) which is being led by the Global Peatlands Initiative. On-going
Veuillez indiquer quels ont été les résultats obtenus dans le cadre des activités entreprises pour la mise en œuvre de cette Résolution: 
To date the above questionnaire has elicited 22 responses. A summary of these responses is attached. Further results will be provided in a Summary report produced by the IUCN CEM Peatlands Group supported by Newcastle University and the Global Peatlands Initiative.
Quelles mesures ont été prises afin de surmonter ces obstacles ?: 
Establishing a baseline of which peatland countries have strategies has been limited. There has been a very limited response from countries to the questionnaire. Support from the IUCN Secretariat to encourage National Committees to feed in would be appreciated.
Veuillez indiquer et décrire brièvement les activités planifiées par la suite pour la mise en œuvre de cette Résolution: 
Activité FutureDescription
Activit�s visant � influencer et/ou promouvoir les politiquesReporting spreadsheet to record progress on Countries Strategic peatland plans to be circulated to IUCN National Committees. Summary document to be produced setting out examples of good practice in Peatland Strategies. Promotion of peatlands resolution will continue across international events in 2019.
