The UN General Assembly announced the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030, which will promote the restoration of degraded and destroyed ecosystems as a means to combat climate change, raise food security and ensure water supply and biodiversity conservation.  An International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists Initiative is currently developing a formal resolution to raise the awareness of sustainable pastoralism and rangelands during the Decade.
