Education/Communication/Raising awareness
The RLI was included in the 2019 SDG report with data for each country updated in the UN SDG indicator database. The RLI and various disaggregations were included in the IPBES Global Assessment, published in May 2019, with the indicators extrapolated to 2020 to assess progress towards the Aichi Targets and to 2030 for the SDGs. The RLI and various disaggregations are profiled in the draft Global Biodiversity Outlook-5 which is currently out for review and due to be published in 2020. The RLI was included in the newly launched Biodiversity Indicators Partnership Dashboard. A Swiss Government-funded project led by IUCN Secretariat is supporting the development of functionality on the IUCN Red List website to serve up RLIs and various disaggregations of them to users.
On-going
Fundraising
The IUCN Red List Partnership developed a joint fundraising proposal to secure significant funding for the IUCN Red List, which would facilitate the regular production and update of RLIs based on reassessments.

Policy influencing/advocacy
The RLI was included in the 2019 SDG report with data for each country updated in the UN SDG indicator database. The RLI and various disaggregations were included in the IPBES Global Assessment, published in May 2019, with the indicators extrapolated to 2020 to assess progress towards the Aichi Targets and to 2030 for the SDGs. The RLI and various disaggregations are profiled in the draft Global Biodiversity Outlook-5 which is currently out for review and due to be published in 2020. Relevant disaggregations of the RLI were provided to the Convention on Migratory Species via UNEP-WCMC to support a review of the CMS Strategic Plan for Migratory Species. RLIs, disaggregated to national level, were included in the ‘country profiles’ on the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool, and made available to CBD national focal points, among others (see link below). The RLI was included in the newly launched Biodiversity Indicators Partnership Dashboard.

Scientific/technical activities
RLIs, disaggregated to national level, were included in the ‘country profiles’ on the Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool, and made available to CBD national focal points, among others (see link below). The RLI was included in the newly launched Biodiversity Indicators Partnership Dashboard. The EU-funded INSPIRE4Nature project, led by the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), involving four IUCN Red List Partners, to train 15 PhD students, including one whose PhD focuses on the Red List Index. A paper on the sample size required for the sampled approach to generating Red List Indices was developed and submitted for publication. A paper presenting national Red List Indices for Colombia was developed and submitted for publication. A Swiss Government-funded project led by IUCN Secretariat is supporting the development of functionality on the IUCN Red List website to serve up RLIs and various disaggregations of them to users, and to support more streamlined production of these indicators each year.
