description This is a working paper on a science-to-policy review, with recommendations for the UNCCD Conference of the Parties, prepared by the IYRP Rangelands & Land Degradation Neutrality Working Group. More than half of the world’s land is rangeland, yet these landscapes and the communities that manage them have been largely neglected. Rangelands are a crucial source of food and feed, but they are often treated as dumping grounds by global economies. To address this, a shift in perspective is required—rangelands should be viewed not as a problem but as a sustainable solution. This involves halting indiscriminate rangeland conversion and implementing policies that support both rangelands and pastoralism. The United Nations General Assembly has designated 2026 as the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, calling on UN Member States to invest in sustainable rangeland management, restore degraded lands, improve pastoralist access to markets, and strengthen livestock services. Rangelands, home to over two billion people, provide essential ecosystem services and are key to the sustainability of pastoralism. However, they face ongoing threats, including land conversion, weak governance, and underinvestment. To overcome these challenges, global action, stronger targets, and increased funding for sustainable rangeland management are essential.
