The issue brief highlighted the critical need for integrated management of rangelands, grasslands, and pastoralism to enhance sustainability in drylands. It emphasized the significance of sustainable management approaches and decision support tools in addressing the challenges faced by these ecosystems, particularly in light of climate change. The brief noted that the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralism in 2026 provided an opportunity to raise awareness and secure funding for sustainable practices. It showcased various innovations by CGIAR and partners, such as silvo-pastoral systems and participatory rangeland management, aimed at improving productivity and resilience while addressing governance challenges.
