Describe the results/achievements of the actions taken: 
IUCN secretariat has continued the communication of the guidance on mitigating biodiversity impacts associated with wind and solar energy generation.

In 2022 we have continued to work with renewable energy companies to provide guidance on best practice towards assessing and mitigating cumulative impacts from renewable energy generation

The Resolution calls for the repealing of laws and policy that obstruct energy efficiency and renewable energy use and the removal of fossil fuel subsidies, this issue is the responsibility of state members and so far, (especially with the current war in Ukraine), there seems to be limited appetite for repealing such legislation
