[Iyrp-gcg] FOR YOUR APPROVAL: Full report and Exec Summ from IYRP LDN Working Group

[Maryam Niamir-Fuller]

Dear GCG members

Please find attached for your approval the full report ("Science Review")
and its 2-page Executive Summary, created by the IYRP LDN Working Group.
Among other activities planned, these will be used as documentation for a
High Level Event being proposed for the UNCCD CRIC 21 in October 2023.

The purpose of the Science Review is to collect relevant and up to date
information about rangelands, pastoralism specifically in the context of
the UNCCD's mandate, which includes dryland management, drought, and Land
Degradation Neutrality (LDN). The Working Group has identified 8
priority actions that could make up a formal Decision by the UNCCD COP in
either 2024 or 2026.

With your approval, we will then circulate the report to the full IYRP ISG
list and other experts for peer review. It also has to undergo a final
edit. The full report will be published (we are in the process of
identifying a publisher, therefore all suggestions are welcome).

I would like to sincerely thank all the members of the LDN Working Group
(copied here), who have diligently worked hard to pull together this rather
comprehensive Review. It is relevant to many of the 12 themes of the IYRP
and I am sure we can extract key messages from it for our efforts in 2026.

Please concentrate your comments (in track changes) on substantive issues
and content, and less on edits.

*Kindly provide your approval/objection by 12th May 2023*.
