I was not there today, but I understand that there was a moment of silence at the opening session

Many thanks, Kathrine - and all the best to those of you presenting at the breakfast meeting tomorrow.

UNEA will be a sad occasion, after several people on the way to the conference were killed yesterday in the plane crash near Addis. A moment of silence on their honour would be fitting. Condolences to those who lost friends and colleagues.

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.

All the best,
