Why attend
Learn through active discussions with practitioners about approaches to starting IUCN Red List of Ecosystems (RLE) assessments at national scales, different and innovative methods for compiling data and knowledge to assess ecosystems, and how RLE can be used to inform policy and conservation action towards the Global Biodiversity Framework.
Session Description
The IUCN Red List of Ecosystems (RLE) is a robust, evidence-based support tool for assessing risks to ecosystems, and has been adopted as a headline indicator under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. This session will build understanding and capacity for RLE through interactive knowledge sharing with RLE experts and national RLE champions. The session will comprise two panel sessions, both starting with brief showcase presentations from range of countries with national RLE assessments, and then move to an interactive discussion. The first panel will focus on countries with established national Red Lists, their experience and how the assessments are used in policy. The second panel will include countries with recent assessments or currently underway, with lessons for countries embarking on the process and planning for their use. These discussions will allow participants to discuss the RLE process with local experts relevant to their region.Partners
