| Policy influencing/advocacy | En los ultimos díez años Honduras ha estado desarrollando inversiones fuertes en fortalecer la mineria sostenible y la generación de energia hidrolectrica, pero en el proceso se han violentado acuerdos y normas en la protección de áreas protegidas. Lo anterior ha creado la reacción de la sociedad civil en protección de estas áreas y el medio ambiente. El narcotrafico ha penetrado sectores importantes como la biosfera del rio platano, y ante esa situación poco o nada ha hecho el gobierno de honduras para proteger y resguardar estos sectores. | On-going | Full activity report |

Policy influencing/advocacy
Describe the results/achievements of the activities
IUCN has continued to raise awareness of the importance of protected areas in addressing climate change in 2019, and for governments to take this into account in their national climate policies and actions. At UNFCCC COP25, for example, IUCN published and disseminated a briefing paper on 'Protected Areas and Climate Change', which provided both practical recommendations and examples. This was prepared by the IUCN WCPA Specialist Group on Climate Change, and is available here: https://www.iucn.org/sites/dev/files/content/documents/protected_areas_and_climate_change_briefing_paper_december_2019-final.pdf

Challenges/obstacles encountered in the implementation of this Resolution and measures taken
Different countries take into account the role of protected areas in addressing climate change to different degrees. The activity report submitted from Honduras, for example, points to some of the challenges faced there and also the role of civil society actors in particular in overcoming them.
Future actions / activities needed for the implementation of this Resolution
More awareness-generation can make a positive contribution, for example through the planned IUCN publication on the contributions made by protected areas towards achieving the different SDGs, including SDG 13 on climate action, drawing on examples and case-studies from the Panorama platform, led by the Global Protected Areas Programme. For more information contact Marie Fishborn (IUCN GPAP).
