Activities carried out to implement this Resolution
Policy influencing/advocacy
Describe the results/achievements of the activities
Given its requests to the IUCN Council, the PPC has formed a Task Force to undertake this work. The Task Force focal point has been in touch with the International Policy Centre (IPC) of the Secretariat to discuss the various options for implementing the Resolution, especially the policy review requested in operative paragraph 4b. Given the substantial resources that would be involved in a comprehensive policy review, the Task Force and IPC have begun exploring innovative options, including the use of artificial intelligence.
Challenges/obstacles encountered in the implementation of this Resolution and measures taken
As of this writing, no challenges have been encountered. However, it is anticipated that resources will be a challenge. Given the quantity of Resolutions and Recommendations adopted since 1948, the asks in this Resolution are labour (and therefore resource) intensive.
Future actions / activities needed for the implementation of this Resolution
Depending on the outcomes of ongoing discussions between the Task Force and the IPC, as well as planned pilot use of an artificial intelligence approach to the policy review, a review will be undertaken of all active Resolutions and Recommendations to recommend which should be archived, how they can be assembled or consolidated, and how such reviews should be managed in the future. A consultative approach to engage Members and solicit their feedback is being considered.
Are these actions/activities planned?
Yes
