[IYRPsupportgroup] Save the date : COP26 8 November 13h Glasgow time "Pastoralism, making variability work" & "Pastoralism is the future"

[Ann Waters-Bayer]

Dear all,

Thanks to Véronique Ancey at FAO, we have a whole 10 minutes (!!!) on pastoralism in an EU side event at COP26. 

WAMIP and InsightShare have managed to organise much more for COP 26, taking less conventional routes. 

But we need to use all routes to draw attention to the importance of pastoralism.

Cheers,
Ann
