Challenges/obstacles encountered in the implementation of this Resolution and measures taken
Translating the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology will be key for uptake,but has proven to be more complex than translating an ordinary publication from IUCN given that local interpretation of ecosystem names is very variable across countries with same language.
Future actions / activities needed for the implementation of this Resolution
- Mapping the Ecosystem Functional Groups and Global Ecosystems within the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology is key for upscaling its use and application
- Develop communication material and training for the wide use of the Typology including the finalizing the translation of GET into IUCN official languages (underway) and publication of crosswalk document (also underway)
- Support national authorities for the joint application of RLE and Natural Capital Accounting
