Indicate and briefly describe any actions that have been carried out to implement this Resolution: 
ActionDescriptionStatus
Education/Communication/SensibilisationFAO has developed a series of climate policy guidance, tools and knowledge products. These instruments include the FAO Adaptation Toolbox, technical guidelines on addressing fisheries and aquaculture in national adaptation plans, good practices of adaptive fisheries management, toolkit for vulnerability and capacity assessments, and guidance on the integration of human rights standards and laws into disaster risk reduction and climate action in small-scale fisheries. There are also 3 FAO e-learning courses (free-of-charge and accessible to all) on climate change adaptation and mitigation in fisheries and aquaculture, climate-smart fisheries and aquaculture, and fisheries and aquaculture response to emergencies (FARE). ROCA Report on Assessing Progress on Ocean and Climate Action: 2020-2021. The 2020-2021 Roadmap to Oceans and Climate Action (ROCA) Initiative Report on Assessing Progress on Ocean and Climate Action is the product of a multi-organizational effort involving over 60 contributors from over 30 collaborating organizations. Launched on November 1, 2021 during the opening of the COP26 Virtual Ocean Pavilion, this final volume in an annual series of assessments provides a compilation of evidence for a growing recognition from various sectoral and stakeholder initiatives in science, policy development, financing, and other cross-cutting efforts of the importance of oceans in the climate change process and ambition under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.

Activit�s de terrainIUCN and many members and partners are actively engaging in promoting Nature-based Solutions, examples include the BNCFF, BCAF, the IPBC, the work of the BCI, the work of the Global Mangrove Alliance, FEBA. ORO – Through BIOPAMA, DG Initiative, and Kiwa Initiative we are supporting more than 15 local area-based conservation projects in Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Palau, New Caledonia, French Polynesia and others. We are also working to respond to GCF comments on a $49m coastal and marine EbA project in PNG, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu. ORO – Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa are in the final stages of establishing national marine spatial plans that will protect over 4,000,000km2 of ocean to help achieve 30% protection. Cook Islands, Kiribati, French Polynesia, and Palau are being approached for similar initiatives. Start of implementation of the Subnational Climate Fund (SCF) which partially acts in coastal countries, with an opportunity for strong ES mitigation action alongside NbS.On-going
Activit�s visant � influencer et/ou promouvoir les politiquesIUCN, members and partners have been supporting the inclusion of ocean topics, primarily NbS, into the UNFCCC, and its process, including NDCs. A variety of reports, technical briefs and position papers have been published by IUCN and members, jointly or separately. ROCA Report on Assessing Progress on Ocean and Climate Action: 2020-2021. The 2020-2021 Roadmap to Oceans and Climate Action (ROCA) Initiative Report on Assessing Progress on Ocean and Climate Action is the product of a multi-organizational effort involving over 60 contributors from over 30 collaborating organizations. Launched on November 1, 2021 during the opening of the COP26 Virtual Ocean Pavilion, this final volume in an annual series of assessments provides a compilation of evidence for a growing recognition from various sectoral and stakeholder initiatives in science, policy development, financing, and other cross-cutting efforts of the importance of oceans in the climate change process and ambition under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. FAO has been contributing to multiple international events and initiatives. It aims to ensure fisheries and aquaculture are adequately addressed under the UNFCCC and other fora, through active participation in UNFCCC COPs, annual Ocean Dialogues, UN Ocean Conference 2022 and so on. FAO has submitted 12 commitments to the UN Ocean Conference 2022, focused on ocean health and transforming aquatic food systems. In addition, ASOC facilitates NGO engagement on the IMO Polar Code which covers both Arctic and Antarctic waters and may at some point address climate change. It is already working on ship emissions.

Veuillez indiquer quels ont été les résultats obtenus dans le cadre des activités entreprises pour la mise en œuvre de cette Résolution: 
UNFCCC Ocean and Climate Change Dialogue: IUCN and partners/members directly supported the UNFCCC Secretariat in shaping the first mandated, in-person dialogue. Prepared the 2022 Information note to inform Parties and observers of key areas of importance, including blue carbon. High-level panel: Global Blue Carbon Coalition. CI and partners hosted a high-level panel with the Government of France, together with the governments of Colombia and Costa Rica, to advance the work of the Global Blue Carbon Coalition. Morocco, Australia and Monaco announced their intention to join the Coalition. Blue Carbon Principles and Guidance Workshop. CI and partners hosted a workshop to refine standards for high-quality for blue carbon credits and projects, which will be shared in a final form at COP 27 this November. FAO has developed a series of climate policy guidance, tools and knowledge products. These instruments include the FAO Adaptation Toolbox, technical guidelines on addressing fisheries and aquaculture in national adaptation plans, good practices of adaptive fisheries management, toolkit for vulnerability and capacity assessments, and guidance on the integration of human rights
Quelles mesures ont été prises afin de surmonter ces obstacles ?: 
It's a very, very broad, sector cross-cutting resolution, which entails lots of actors, partners etc. For broad guidance this resolution is very useful, but its tracking in detail very difficult.

Activité FutureDescription
FormationThe above-mentioned policy work will need further capacity building to ensure update and implementation of NbS, ocean issues in NDCs, Protected Areas works and reducing the negative impacts from climate infrastructure.
Activit�s visant � influencer et/ou promouvoir les politiquesIUCN, members and partners will continue raising ocean climate issues in international and national policy fora, including the UNFCCC. There will be a continued need to ensure synergies between conventions, and the sectoral policy fora, such as on fisheries. The IUCN Green List of Protected Area will be of continued importance as well as the work on climate resilient infrastructure, such as RE offshore.
