[IYRPsupportgroup] New publication: "A case of benign neglect"

[Kathrine Johnsen]

Dear all,

This week UN Environment is releasing the report "A case of benign neglect: Knowledge gaps about sustainability in pastoralism and rangelands”.

The report addresses the UNEA-2 resolution on "Combating Desertification, Land Degradation and Drought and Promoting Sustainable Pastoralism and Rangelands”, and it identifies the need for a global integrated assessment of rangelands and pastoralists that will provide a knowledge baseline crucial for monitoring the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) among pastoralists.

Key findings and recommendations of the report will be presented at a ministerial breakfast meeting tomorrow at UNEA-4.

I want to take the opportunity and thank all of you who contributed to the production through discussions, reviews, providing input, suggesting sources of information, sharing photos, etc.

All the best,
Kathrine
