Rangelands cover around half of the Earth's land surface and support pastoral communities whose mobility, knowledge and stewardship are essential for healthy ecosystems, biodiversity conservation and the prevention of land degradation. Yet investment in these landscapes remains limited and often fails to reflect the realities of pastoral systems.
As part of the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, this UNCCD COP17 side event will bring together policymakers, pastoralist organizations, researchers, civil society representatives and development partners to discuss how responsible investment can support sustainable rangeland management and restoration and contribute to achieving Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN), while strengthening pastoral livelihoods and resilience.
If you are attending UNCCD COP17 in Ulaanbaatar, join us for this conversation on advancing responsible investment for healthy rangelands and pastoral futures.
