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

[Jonathan Davies]

Hi everyone,
I think the IYRP working groups need to make a strong statement on GHG
emissions and the climate change working group is currently trying to
figure out how to approach it. The group is going relatively slowly at the
moment, which reflects the magnitude of their task.
The ideal solution would be for Habibou to contribute to the CC working
group, and hopefully play a more active role to make the group a bit more
dynamic. Perhaps join the current coordinators. Of course, that is
ultimately a question for the current WG coordinators, but if Habibou is
interested then I will reach out to them to start the conversation.
Let me know if I should contact them.
Thanks, Jon
