Describe the results/achievements of the actions taken: 
Convening: Secretariat (IPC) organized a virtual briefing session before the CBD Geneva meetings with IUCN State Members to run through IUCN's key positions; Secretariat launched a webinar series "the last sprint before COP15" (https://www.iucn.org/events/webinar/iucn-webinar-series-last-sprint-cbd-cop15 ); Parties to CBD, IUCN Members and others have joined and feedback has been positive. The French National Committee has also organised webinars and gatherings to socialize key positions and views on the Post-2020 GBF including on the issue of 30x30. En plus, un webinaire du réseau francophone de l’UICN sera dédié à la préparation des négociations finales de la COP15, mi-novembre.

Communication/raising awareness: The Secretariat has developed numerous materials, created and populated a dedicated Post-2020 GBF webpage compiling all information about IUCN's engagement with this process - including but not limited to position papers -, has prepared and released IUCN statements and blogs before and after the CBD meetings this year, etc. The French NC has also been actively engaging in this space: Dans le cadre de la conférence « Décrypter l’international sur la route vers la COP15 biodiversité » de la Plateforme Biodiversité 2020 de l’IDDRI (6ème réunion), un bilan du Congrès mondial de la nature et un décryptage de la motion 40 ont été présentés par la Présidente du CF UICN. IUCN Members have also actively been engaging in outreach activities to emphasize the need to adopt an ambitious post-2020 GBF (e.g. WWF, TNC, BirdLife and members of the Global Goal for Nature group)

Policy influencing: Most of the time spent by IUCN Secretariat staff in the implementation of this Resolution is linked to policy advocacy - development, consultation and release of IUCN position papers and technical papers/briefs to substantiate IUCN's position; development of an overview document linking the Marseille Resolutions and our Programme to Post-2020 (IUCN's mandate); socializing IUCN's position through presentations, etc. Here again the French NC has reported numerous activities.
What challenges/obstacles have been encountered in the implementation of this Resolution and how were they overcome : 
Probably most of the challenges in implementing this Resolution are linked to ensuring that as a Union we speak with one voice to maximize opportunities of really influencing the process in the right direction. Coordination and constant dialogue have been essential among various IUCN components.
Briefly describe what future actions are needed for the implementation of this Resolution: 
Continuation of all efforts after adoption of the GBF in December 2022 to support Parties to move quickly into implementation.
Are these actions planned for yet: 
No

Status of implementation for this Resolution:
