    联合国宣布 2026 年为国际牧场和牧民年

 
   2022 年 3 月 15 日，纽约联合国大会（UNGA）一致通过 宣布 2026 年为国际牧场和牧民年 (IYRP)。该最终批准是 IYRP 运动的高潮，该运动在几年内发展成为全球联盟 300 多个牧民和支持组织，包括国际家畜研究协会 研究所（ILRI）和几个联合国机构。在这些努力的基础上，蒙古政府 60个共同提案国制定并向联大提交了该决议。

联合国大会充分认识到国际稻米年决议对解决全球生物多样性问题的重要性， 气候变化和社会经济问题。它承认“畜牧业是一种动态的、 与多样化的生态系统、文化、身份、传统 与自然共存的知识和历史经验”。它肯定了“健康的牧场 对促进经济增长、有弹性的生计和可持续发展至关重要 畜牧业的发展。”它要求粮农组织促进 2026 年国际稻米年的实施。

牧场覆盖了世界地球表面的一半以上[科学家目前估计为 54%] 因此，它是我们最大的生态系统，但却是最濒危和受保护最少的生态系统。在世界各地， 牧场支持数亿牧民的生计和粮食安全，他们 不仅为自己，也为数以百万计的其他人提供畜产品。牧民使用 他们的牲畜将通常稀疏和短命的植被转化为无法被 人类进入廉价、健康的高品质蛋白质食品，供国内和出口使用 市场。因此，它们有助于全球营养和粮食安全。

可持续的牧场和畜牧业现在更加需要 不可预测和不断变化的气候，已经有超过 7 亿人——几乎是其中的十分之一 世界人口 - 正在遭受饥饿，以及 100 万种动植物物种 濒临灭绝。

特别是在过去的 100 年里，牧民遭受了无数的不公正待遇，例如 剥夺他们的传统放牧区并封锁他们的迁徙路线。然而这些 社区继续生存并应用使他们成为强大盟友的知识和技能 面对我们所有人都在经历的日益增加的不确定性，实现可持续发展。作为 作为牧场的管家，他们在维持和增加生物多样性和 提供生态系统服务，例如碳封存和流域保护。

鉴于工业化、受限、集约化的畜牧生产具有巨大的碳和水足迹， 经科学证明，畜牧系统的足迹几乎为零。牧场 由畜牧业维持的碳汇形成了地球上最大的碳汇。管理牧场 可持续放牧实践对于减缓气候变化至关重要。畜牧业是一种 需要很少的化石燃料能源的生产系统。它主要依靠自发电 天然牧场。它还有助于防止野火，因为放牧消耗了大部分可以提供燃烧燃料的地面植被。因此，畜牧业可以是自然友好的 畜牧生产系统，优化生产和生产之间的动态平衡 在高度可变和不断变化的条件下的可持续性。

IYRP 旨在在全球范围内提高认识并填补关于可观收益的知识空白 由健康的牧场和可持续的畜牧业提供。它还将倡导 加强畜牧业的能力和提高负责任的 对该领域的投资。最终目标是使牧场和牧民在 围绕从应对气候危机到减少贫困、管理 对生物多样性的威胁、发展可持续的粮食系统并帮助实现 可持续发展目标。在这些辩论中，IYRP 将帮助扩大 牧民和科学家了解牧场和畜牧业的价值。

United Nations Declare 2026 the International Year of Rangelands & Pastoralists

On 15 March 2022, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York unanimously declared 2026 the International Year of Rangelands & Pastoralists (IYRP). This final approval is the culmination of an IYRP movement that grew over several years to become a global coalition of over 300 pastoralist and supporting organisations, including the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and several UN agencies. Building on these efforts, the Government of Mongolia and 60 co-sponsoring countries developed and put forward the resolution to UNGA.

UNGA fully appreciates the importance of the IYRP resolution for addressing global biodiversity, climate change and socio-economic issues. It recognises that “pastoralism is a dynamic and transformative livelihood linked to the diverse ecosystems, cultures, identities, traditional knowledge and historical experience of coexisting with nature”. It affirms that “healthy rangelands are vital for contributing to economic growth, resilient livelihoods and the sustainable development of pastoralism.” It asks FAO to facilitate the implementation of the IYRP in 2026.

The rangelands cover over half [scientists currently estimate 54%] of the world’s earth surface and is thus our largest ecosystem, but is most endangered and least protected. Around the world, rangelands support the livelihoods and food security of hundreds of millions of pastoralists, who provide livestock products not only for themselves but also for millions of others. Pastoralists use their livestock to convert often sparse and short-lived vegetation that cannot be consumed by humans into inexpensive, healthy food with high-quality protein for both domestic and export markets. They thus contribute to global nutrition and food security.

Sustainable rangelands and pastoralism are sorely needed even more so now in a world facing an unpredictable and changing climate, where already over 700 million people – almost one-tenth of the world population – are suffering hunger, and where one million animal and plant species are threatened with extinction.

Particularly in the last 100 years, pastoralists have endured numerous injustices such as dispossession of their traditional grazing areas and blocking of their migration routes. Yet these communities continue to survive and apply knowledge and skills that make them strong allies in sustainable development in the face of the increasing uncertainty we are all experiencing. As stewards of the rangelands, they play a vital role in maintaining and increasing biodiversity and providing ecosystem services, such as in carbon sequestration and protection of watersheds.

Whereas industrial, confined, intensive livestock production has a big carbon and water footprint, the footprint of pastoral systems has been scientifically proven to be next to nil. Rangelands sustained by pastoralism form the largest carbon sink on the planet. Keeping rangelands managed under sustainable grazing practices is essential for climate change mitigation. Pastoralism is a production system that requires little fossil-fuel energy. It relies primarily on self-generating natural pastures. It also helps to prevent wildfires, since grazing consumes much of the groundlevel vegetation that could provide the fuel to burn. Thus, pastoralism can be a nature-friendly livestock production system that optimises the dynamic balance between production and sustainability under highly variable and changing conditions.

The IYRP aims to raise awareness and fill knowledge gaps globally about the considerable benefits provided by healthy rangelands and sustainable pastoralism. It will also advocate for strengthening the capacity of the pastoral livestock sector and for increasing responsible investment in this sector. The ultimate goal is to make rangelands and pastoralists prominent in policy debates around everything from confronting climate crises to reducing poverty, managing threats to biodiversity, developing sustainable food systems and helping to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. In these debates, the IYRP will help amplify the voices of pastoralists and scientists about the value of rangelands and pastoralism.
