Mobility Matters Campaign launches for IYRP 2026

MOVEMENT THAT HEALS THE PLANET.

3 December, 2026 - Today, we’re proud to launch Mobility Matters - a global campaign to celebrate and defend the ways of the world’s pastoralists, marking the start of the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP) 2026!

This campaign brings together pastoralists - the 3.3 million people that are a part of the ILC network - governments to protect mobility, secure land rights and reshape the narrative on rangelands.

For too long, rangelands have not received the recognition they deserve - despite covering nearly half of the earth’s land surface and holding some of our most powerful climate solutions.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Over the next year, we’ll roll out:

  • powerful stories from pastoralist communities across the ILC network
  • national and global advocacy moments
  • new evidence for policy and climate action
  • opportunities to engage, collaborate, and amplify pastoralist voices

This movement needs you.

If you believe in a future where mobility is protected, where pastoralists can thrive, and where rangelands are recognised as essential to climate resilience - step into the movement!
