Describe the results/achievements of the activities
GLOBAL ECOSYSTEM TYPOLOGY (GET)
- Scientific publication in Nature (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05318-4) of the GET. In less than one month since publication, the publication has been consulted >33k times
- Adoption of IUCN GET as the reference typology for Ecosystem accounting in United Nations Systems- SEEA EA ( The SEEA Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EA) constitutes an integrated and comprehensive statistical framework for organizing data about habitats and landscapes, measuring the ecosystem services, tracking changes in ecosystem assets, and linking this information to economic and other human activity.https://seea.un.org/ecosystem-accounting
RED LIST OF ECOSYSTEMS (RLE)
-Development of open online training course in the IUCN Academy on use of Red List of Ecosystems for Assessors.
-To date of this report >4k ecosystems across terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems assessed
