[Iyrp-gcg] WG on pastoralism and GHG emissions - Call for interest

[Pablo Manzano Baena]

Hi Serena and Habibou,
I would like to ask what the differences would be with the agenda of the
current Pastoralism & Climate Change working group (CC WG) would be. Is
Habibou suggesting to split the mitigation and adaptation components into
two different WGs, thus "emptying" the current CC group on the mitigation
component? In that case, I think the current CC WG would need a name change.
For a mitigation WG, I would not focus exclusively on emissions. There are
aspects on carbon stocking, and changes in radiative force under
pastoralist vs. abandoned landscapes (via differences in albedo, or in
longevity of GHG in the atmosphere due to competition with CH4 for
atmospheric sinks) that should be included there.
Cheers
Pablo
