United Nations General Assembly declarted 2026, as International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists on March 15, 2022.

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.
