Describe the results/achievements of the actions taken:
IUCNs engagement under the International Organizing Committee (IOC) of the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP 2026) has convened grassland partners across the globe who are currently advocating for increased recognition of grasslands and rangelands within the conventions including the UNFCCC, UNCCD and the CBD. A scientific policy brief 'Global action for sustainable rangelands and pastoralism to achieve Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN)"
directed to UNCCD parties has been completed and will be shared with the parties on multiple platforms beginning with the CRIC 21, in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.
What challenges/obstacles have been encountered in the implementation of this Resolution and how were they overcome :
There is still limited investments in grassland restoration globally and although they there is overwhelming evidence of their importance, decision-makers are not paying enough attention to their sustainable management which is leading to increased vulnerability in these systems which is exacerbated by climate change.
Briefly describe what future actions are needed for the implementation of this Resolution:
Research - more information needs to be collected to establish the state of global rangeland and where priority action needs to be taken
Policy influencing and advocacy - through capacity building and better communication to decision-makers to pay attention to grasslands especially when developing restoration policies and actions
Investment - The gap of investment in restoration can be bridged by harnessing the participation of private sector. The knowledge and guidelines on private sector engagement will be key to achieving impact.
Are these actions planned for yet:
