[Risgchairs] Revision and updating of the IYRP 12 Global Themes

[Francesca Pasetti]

Dear Maryam,
I am very sorry to answer so late....but I have been overwhelmed in the
last period, and could not work on this before.this evening
Please find attached sth for RISG Europe. I am sorry, I could have done
more, but did not have the time for it.
If I could have a few days more, it could be more complete. The Carpathian
Convention of the Carpathian countries, for example, is working a lot for
preservation of Culture and traditions, and a sustainable development of
their forests and agriculture, in Turkey and Italy, they are also doing a
lot of innovative things...But I had no time to involve them to
complete this form

For this date, this is what we have for RISG Europe.
Kind regards
Francesca

> The IYRP 12 Global Themes, one for each month of 2026, were originally

> how pastoralism and rangelands across the globe share similar issues and
> concerns. They are intended for a coordinated outreach strategy in 2026
> by giving a common structure for the entire Global Alliance to use. We
> envisage that the Global Alliance and our partners will use the monthly
> themes to schedule activities around them ( webinars, side events,
> launching of films and publications, etc ). The key messages for each theme
> will provide the framework for consistent messaging by the entire Alliance.

> Much has happened since 2017, and therefore, the IYRP Global Secretariat

> one theme - some repetition is good.

> The distribution of themes across the 12 months follows two criteria: 1) a
> consistent narrative, starting with "who we are" in January and finishing
> with a vision for the future in December , and 2) matching as much as
> possible the themes to International Days so as to capitalize on visibility
> and attention.

> 1/ Please check the narrative -  terminology can be very important and we
> want to get them right. Are the titles of each theme relevant ? Are the Key
> messages complete? Are there missing issues ?
>
> 2/ Please help us find examples, case studies, success stories that
> exemplify each of the Key Messages. Please insert your feedback into the
> attached Excel Sheet.
>
> 3/ We are struggling to see whether we should have a month devoted to
> "Sustainable production and consumption". (SCP).  With the current version,
> almost every theme has something to say about SCP. However, a few issues
> may be missing, such as: animal nutrition, animal health and welfare,
> sustainable processing of animal products; consumption of healthy meat and
> milk products vs feedlot-based products vs plant-based products; importance
> of meat and milk for human nutrition; reducing food loss and waste; etc., Do
> you think it is better to consolidate these issues into a separate SCP
> theme, or to distribute them across the months?  A separate SCP theme would
> mean greater visibility for these issues, but one of the other themes would
> have to be replaced. And we would need to set up a new WG on SCP.

> Time is of the essence. We would be grateful if you would kindly consult
> your members and provide your feedback on all three points above at the
> latest by *15th March 2025*.
