II. Implementation

Activities carried out to implement this Resolution
Education/Communication/Raising awareness
Policy influencing/advocacy
Scientific/technical activities
Describe the results/achievements of the activities
Throughout 2019, IUCN constituents have been following the process of development of a new Global Biodiversity Framework for the post-2020 period. Numerous activities and results can be mentioned: participation in the CBD thematic consultations on post-2020; submission of IUCN inputs to the post-2020 process (see: https://www.iucn.org/theme/global-policy/our-work/convention-biological-diversity-cbd/post-2020-global-biodiversity-framework ); participation in the official and other meetings (including Open-ended Working Group on post-2020 and the CBD subsidiary body meetings) and distribution of IUCN position papers, information briefs and others; organisation of side events (e.g. IUCN evolving position, Evidence base for achieving species conservation and restoration - STAR and Three Global conditions at SBSTTA23 in November 2019), among others.
Challenges/obstacles encountered in the implementation of this Resolution and measures taken
Lack of a dedicated source of funding to finance work around post-2020 inputs (publication and distribution of briefs for example) as well as to fund staff time and participation at the many events and meetings on the post-2020 framework where IUCN, members and partners can have a positive impact. Most of the funding available is by way of projects which are finite and have other limitations.
Future actions / activities needed for the implementation of this Resolution
Development and dissemination of more background materials which put forward the scientific base as well as the practical applications of science-based targets and area-based conservation measures. This should ideally be accompanied by a global communications and awareness raising campaign.
Are these actions/activities planned?
No
