Regenerative Grazing for Climate, Ecosystem, and Human Health
Prepared for COP27
By: Global Evergreening Alliance (2022)

Key Takeaways

  • Leading up to COP27 in Egypt, and as members of the Global Evergreening Alliance, the Savory Institute contributed towards the development of a document aimed at educating and encouraging world leaders to support regenerative grazing and silvopastoral systems as part of their conference initiatives.

Summary

This document has been developed by colleagues from a range of institutions who are interacting with the Global Evergreening Alliance, Evergreening the Earth Campaign (evergreening.org), Target 6 on grazing lands and silvopastoralism systems. The Target Action Group has identified a global rangelands restoration target to regenerate a healthy grass-tree balance on 650 m ha of degraded pasturelands with an annual sequestration drawdown target of 3.6 Gt CO2-eq by 2050 while enhancing ecosystem functions and services and improving livelihoods.
