[Iyrp-gcg] Fwd: COP15 Grasslands Side Event Proposal - Soliciting Partnerships

Mon Sep 26 22:27:28 MST 2022

Dear Maryam,

Greetings from RECONCILE and RSG-ESA!

We are happy to see such initiatives and that members and partners find the IYRP as a great platform to either partner with or get endorsement from. This is great and will ensure that IYRP towards 2026 remain vibrant. As such I find both suggestions important if we collaborate in the proposal development, we shall get a better understanding of the concepts and content which can enable us subsequently co-host.

Kind regards

Ken

Dear GCG Members: FOR YOUR DECISION

We have a request from the Canadian Cattleman's Association (CCA), who are a member of the IYRP ISG, to support them in a proposal for a side event on  "Conserving grasslands with grazing" at the upcoming CBD COP 15 in Montreal (December 2022). The deadline for them to submit a proposal is this friday.

The Co-chairs of the North America RISG are supportive of this invitation and will be taking the lead on our behalf.

Accordingly, I would like to seek your decision whether to co-host or to collaborate with the CCA on a proposal for a side event at the CBD COP 15 in Montreal.

If I hear no objections by 28th September, then we will assume you are in agreement.

Thank you

Hello Dr.Maryam Niamir-Fuller,

The Canadian Cattle Association is preparing to engage in the UN Biodiversity Conference which is being held in Montreal this December 7th-19th (COP15) https://www.unep.org/events/conference/un-biodiversity-conference-cop-15.

As part of our engagement, we are submitting an official side-event proposal to the COP15 Secretariat on grasslands. We are reaching out to you, as Vice Chair of the IYRP, to solicit your interest in partnering with us in the proposal application.

Our proposal explores the importance of grassland ecosystems and its conservation via grazing livestock. We would invite you to review draft details attached. We are spearheading this initiative as the grasslands ecosystem is a critically important landscape for Canada’s cattle ranchers and farmers. But there are a whole host of reasons, related to livestock, livelihood and habitat preservation, for why COP15 needs to include a discussion on grasslands.

At this juncture, we require that you:

  1.  Review the proposal attached.
  2.  If desired, provide your acceptance to be listed as a co-host on the proposal application.

Please note that the application deadline is September 30th. Your earliest consideration is appreciated.

If we are successful in our application, we will reach out to outline the full scope of the partnering opportunity. If successful, involvement in the side-event can mean many things: logo placement; financial or in-kind contributions; speaking opportunities, logo placement  etc. The first step is submitting an application.

Much thanks,

Amie Peck
