2024: International Year of Camelids
2023: International Year of Millets
2026: International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The United Nations (UN) designates specific years to promote awareness and action on particular themes or issues of global importance. For the year 2024, the UN General Assembly declared it the International Year of Camelids (IYC 2024). The aim is to highlight the important role camelids (camels, llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and guanacos) play in the livelihoods of millions of households across over 90 countries, particularly in arid and semi-arid lands. They contribute to food security, nutrition, and economic growth, and are culturally significant. Let's check other recent designations for context:
The International Year of Millets was 2023.
The International Year of Cooperatives was 2012.
The International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists is designated for 2026. Therefore, the correct answer for 2024 is Camelids. Camelids
