how pastoralism and rangelands across the globe share similar issues and concerns.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"> </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">T</span>hey 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. </div><div><br></div><div>Many of you are familiar with the graphic that we have been using so far (attached). </div><div><br></div><div>Much has happened since 2017, and therefore, the IYRP Global Secretariat has worked to update the monthly themes, and clarify the Key messages within each theme. The key messages are based on the 2017 ideas as well as on the recommendations of the IYRP Working Groups. These recommendations have been inserted wherever they are relevant and not necessarily only in one theme - some repetition is good. </div><div><br></div><div>This is guidance at the global level, and in English. We expect that each Region will be adapting them to their own audiences and needs and languages. So the sooner we can finalize this revision, the more time each IYRP partner will have to plan their activities for 2026. </div><div><br></div><div>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. </div><div><br></div><div><b>We now need your help before we can disseminate it to all of the Alliance.</b> </div><div><br></div><div>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 ?</div><div><br></div><div>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. </div><div><br></div><div>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<font color="#500050">: 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., </font><font color="#000000" style="background-color:rgb(238,238,238)">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. </font></div><div><span style="color:rgb(80,0,80)"><br></span></div><div>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 <b>15th March 2025</b>. </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you so much as always</div><div>.*...*...*...*</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Dr. Maryam Niamir-Fuller<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>
