<div><div dir="ltr">Dear RISG Co-chairs<div>The UNCCD Secretariat would like to get as much comment and feedback as possible on their draft Report attached here. </div><div>The UNCCD periodically issues a "Global Land Outlook" report, and this year, for the first time, they have focused on rangelands. It is therefore very important that we give as much feedback as possible, <b>especially to ensure that all issues specific to your regions are adequately covered</b>. The GLO report will be submitted to the UNCCD expert panels for finalization and onward submission to the Committee for Review of the Convention (CRIC). Therefore, your early comments will be important and appreciated. </div><div><br></div><div>You may remember that a month or so ago, the IYRP Working Group working on land degradation and UNCCD related topics issued their final report for review by the GCG. We thank all those who were able to respond with comments. That report covered some of the topics in this GLO, and provided 8 major recommendations for the UNCCD. The final version of that report is available here : </div><br><a href="https://iyrp.info/sites/iyrp.org/files/IYRP%20LDN%20Science%20Review_19Aug23.pdf" target="_blank">https://iyrp.info/sites/iyrp.org/files/IYRP%20LDN%20Science%20Review_19Aug23.pdf</a><br><div><br></div><div dir="auto">Please use the review template attached here to review the new UNCCD GLO report on rangelands, and <b>please send your review by 11 October to Pedro Herrera copied here . </b><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">*...*...*...*<div>Dr. Maryam Niamir-Fuller<div>Co-Chair of International Support Group for the IYRP</div><div><br></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial">Support the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists 2026 <a href="https://www.iyrp.info" target="_blank">https://www.iyrp.info</a></span></i><i><span style="font-size:10pt"><u></u><u></u></span></i></p>
