The United Nations declared 2024 as the International Year of Camelids (IYC 2024), recognizing the critical role of camelids (camels, llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, guanacos) in food security, livelihoods, and ecosystem resilience, particularly in arid and marginal environments. Throughout the year, GASL knowledge partners have contributed through case studies, outreach events, and policy discussions, showcasing the […]

As countries prepare to enhance their NDCs under the Paris Agreement, addressing non-CO₂ pollutants—including methane, black carbon, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and N₂O—is essential for enhancing ambition. Clear goals and ambitious measures to reduce non-CO₂ pollutants can achieve immediate climate benefits while also improving air quality, public health, and sustainable development. Drawing from the CCAC’s Guidance for Including Non-CO₂ Pollutants in […]
